Lucy Fallon Announces Birth of Second Child

In August of this year, Coronation Street's Lucy Fallon (who plays Bethany Platt) announced she and partner Ryan Ledson (a midfielder for Preston North End) were expecting their second child.

A few weeks later, Lucy and Ryan shared an adorable video of the pair discovering that they were going to have a little girl. With the pair already sharing a son, Sonny (born January 2023), Lucy captioned the post 'complete 🤍 x x'.

Friends, fans and followers heaped congratulations on the little family, and Lucy continued to share Instagram updates throughout her pregnancy.

On January 14th 2025, the pair posted the exciting news that their daughter had been born on the 11th. Though no name has been posted as of yet, an adorable snap was shared on Instagram.

Corrie co-stars were quick to comment, with Channique Sterling-Brown replying 'a beauty just like her mama🥹💕💕', Julia Goulding adding 'She’s absolutely beautiful! Congratulations sweetheart 💕' and Jane Danson commenting 'Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️ she is beautiful . Enjoy this special time x'

This, of course, means Bethany will be off our screens for some time, while Lucy enjoys some quality time with the new addition to the family. Spoilers for next week show Bethany accepting a job offer in London, deciding to make the move without soon to be ex-fiance, Daniel Osbourne.

While this could perhaps facilitate Bethany's exit for maternity leave, a previous post on Lucy Fallon's story suggested the journalist would be present for the fire expected to engulf the Platt house in a few weeks. Could this mean her exit is still to come further down the line?

Either way, with her maternity leave very much underway, Bethany's exit from our screens is imminent.
