Coronation Street star James Burrows announces he's having a baby with his girlfriend Sophie Coates... as he reveals he's taking a break from soap
Coronation Street star James Burrows has revealed that he's having a baby with his girlfriend Sophie Coates and taking a short break from the soap.
The Ali Neeson actor, 27, took to his Instagram to share a picture of the ultrasound scan on Friday and reveal that he is 'over the moon' about the news.
He said: 'Me and my beautiful girlfriend @sophie_coates are over the moon to announce that we’re having a baby.
'We can not contain our excitement we are so so happy x.'
The post comes after James revealed that he would be taking a short break from the hit ITV soap to spend time with his family.
However, the actor reassured fans that he would be returning to the cobbles and that he will be back filming in December.
Talking to The Sun, he said: 'I’ve got a little bit of time off from work. I’ve got about a month and a half off. I’m going to chill out a bit and have some time with my family.
'Few holidays. Chilling out, bit of surfing.
'But we’re back in December and I don’t know what they’ve got in store for me.'
The actor stars as Michelle Connor's biological son, Ali Neeson, in Coronation Street and made a dramatic return to the cobbles earlier this year.
And on Friday's episode of the hit ITV soap, James' character turned into a killer after he murdered drug dealer Ronan Truman.
The villain had been impaled by a fence after crashing his car - and running over Ryan Connor and Leanne Battersby.
And Ali, who is a doctor, decided to pull out the metal pole, which was keeping Ronan alive, after he threatened his family.
