Jennie McAlpine says she’s become a ‘cool mummy’ following LEGO creation

Jennie McAlpine feels like a "very cool mummy" after being immortalised in LEGO.
The 34-year-old actress – who plays the role of Fiz Brown on ‘Coronation Street’ – has taken to her Twitter account to reveal her joy at seeing herself in LEGO form, thanks to the soap’s creative fan Jack Levin.
Jennie – who has a three-year-old son called Albert and a second child on the way – captioned a video of Jack’s moving ‘Coronation Street’-inspired LEGO design: "Being immortalised in LEGO is making me a very cool mummy! Thanks to its clever creator @yehitsjack [clapping hands emoji] @itvcorrie #legocoronationst"
Jack’s innovative design recreates a scene from the long-running soap and even features ‘Coronation Street’s iconic theme tune.
Meanwhile, Jennie recently revealed ‘Coronation Street’ bosses were "worried" about finding ways to write her out of the soap when she first told them she was pregnant.
The actress revealed producers were concerned when she delivered the news about her first pregnancy, because Catherine Tyldesley (Eva Price) and Paula Lane (Kylie Platt) had announced they were expecting days earlier.
Jennie – who first appeared on the show in 1997 – said: "When I was pregnant the first time around I told the bosses within days of Catherine Tyldesley and Paula Lane also telling the bosses they were pregnant.
"This time it’s just me so they weren’t as worried about finding ways to write me out."
