Coronation Street star Helen has been dating Scott since 2009, and the pair welcomed their daughter Matilda together in 2015. Helen is currently heavily pregnant with their second child, and recently started her maternity leave from her role as Rosie Webster on the soap, but already revealed her plans to return to the show. "Rosie will be back," she captioned a post taken as she cleared her dressing room at the Coronation Street studios.

During a recent appearance on Loose Women, Helen admitted that although they are excited to expand their family, her pregnancy came as a complete shock to them. Recalling the moment she discovered she was going to be a mum again, she said: "I knew I was pregnant. I remember doing the test and telling my mum. I waited until Scott was back in person to tell him. He was so happy. It was a surprise. I had just gone back to Coronation Street and I was really enjoying that."

Helen also admitted she is still trying to help Matilda understand that she is going to be a big sister. "I have said to Matilda that she's going to have a sibling but she doesn't get it," she said. "She just says, 'Mummy, kiss my tummy, baby in my tummy'."
