As well as being a couple in Coronation Street (until Tina's character left), the long-term off screen couple welcomed a baby girl in October.

A source told the Sun: "The baby wasn't planned, but now the news has sunk in they couldn't be happier."

The couple are said to have been on the verge of breaking-up as Tina planned to leave their life together in Manchester to pursue acting opportunities in London. But after they found out about the baby, she decided to stay in Manchester and is even said to be considering a return to the Street.
