Jennie McAlpine, 35, welcomed her second baby, Hilda, with her husband Chris Farr in October last year. The Coronation Street star announced the happy news on Twitter in view of her 298,000 followers. She wrote: "Our newest addition arrived yesterday. “Mummy and Daddy very happy. Big brother very proud of his little sister Hilda. We're all in love."
However, the Fiz Brown actress admitted she was faced with speculation from pals about the conception of her new arrival at the time.
Jennie’s pregnancy came soon after she left I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2017.
The Weatherfield regular addressed the rumours during an appearance on ITV’s Lorraine last year.
Host Lorraine Kelly, 59, asked the actress about whether her romantic reunion with her husband after being away in the Australian jungle resulted in her pregnancy.
The presenter wondered: “Is this because when you came out of the jungle you were just so happy to see one another?"
Jennie giggled as she responded: “It is quite quick after isn't it?
