Brooke Vincent has revealed she's pregnant with her second baby.
The ex Coronation Street star, 28, is in her second trimester and is due next spring, she has confirmed.
It comes after Brooke welcomed her first child, a son called Mexx, with her partner Kean Bryan, 24, in October 2019.
She found out she was pregnant this time when she was five weeks along and has decided to keep the baby's gender a secret until he or she is born.
And Brooke, who is best known for playing Sophie Webster in Corrie, says she's more excited than nervous about having two children under the age of two.
Brooke told OK! magazine: "I'm quite chilled about it. I'm really lucky with Mexx, because he's a good baby.
"But I just think to myself, 'You don’t have any other option!' So if he's up all night crying, I can't give him to anyone, so I have to just deal with it.
"It's a perk having them together and growing together – that's what I really wanted."
The soap star says she isn't experiencing morning sickness and is enjoying her second pregnancy.
She added: "I'm feeling really good. It's been a hard year for everyone, so it's some nice news. It's a little bit different with your second because you know what's coming.
"When I was pregnant with Mexx, it was just a massive shock to the system and I was tired all the time and didn't understand why, whereas now, I know what's going on and I've been getting on with it a bit more.
"I don't really have the time to be saying, 'I'm so tired!' because I've got another baby to look after."
Brooke confirmed she was pregnant with Mexx last April.
She then announced his birth in an emotional Instagram post.
She wrote: "On Wednesday 23rd October at 8.14am Our Baby Boy Arrived.
"Mexx S J Bryan, you complete us."
Brooke is pregnant as the same time as her on-screen sister Helen Flanagan.
Helen, who played Rosie Webster in Corrie, is expecting her third child with her fiancé Scott Sinclair.
Brooke joined the cast of Corrie as Sophie Webster when she was just 11-years-old.
She left the soap in 2019 to go on maternity leave, with her last scenes airing that October.
