Coronation Street star Mikey North has revealed that he is dreading working with a baby on the set.

Tina (Michelle Keegan) is carrying a baby for Gary and his girlfriend Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) as part of a surrogacy storyline.

However, North has revealed that he isn't very good with babies and so is not looking forward to his alter ego becoming a father.

"I'm good with toddlers but I'm not so good with babies, so I'm dreading it," he told the Yorkshire Evening Post.

Despite his reservations about becoming an on-screen dad, North admits that having to go to antenatal classes as part of Gary's storyline was eye-opening for him.

"To see all these couples, touchy-feely and all that, is a different experience.

"Izzy's a bit dubious about going and has a bit of a bad time because she feels like she shouldn't be there."

North recently revealed that Gary could become obsessed with Tina.
