Coronation Street’s Melissa Johns has confirmed she is pregnant with her first child.

Melissa, who is 35, portrayed the role of Imogen Pascoe – ex-girlfriend of Kate Connor (Faye Brookes) – in the ITV soap on and off from 2017-2019.

Just recently, Melissa took to Instagram to share an adorable video of her and partner Dan to confirm they are expecting their first baby.

In the mirror sitting in the sand, Melissa and Dan run into frame and reveal Melissa’ pregnancy bump.

How cute!

Captioning the post, Melissa wrote alongside: ‘Oh Baby. We made a wish and it came true. Baby H-J – we can’t wait to meet you. Forever grateful.’

Last October, Melissa shared the wonderful news that she had married Dan. She was joined at the special event by fellow Corrie alumni Bhavna Limbachia, who played Kate Connor’s girlfriend Rana Habeeb until 2019.
