Julia Goulding has met Hayley Tamaddon’s "most gorgeous" baby boy.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress – who plays Shona Ramsey on the ITV soap – has popped round to see her close friend just two weeks after she welcomed Jasper into the world, and she said her friend is a "wonderful mummy".
Taking to social media, she tweeted: "Today I met the most gorgeous little man, Jasper! We high fived and everything!
"@hayleysoraya he is so chilled and beautiful, just like you, you wonderful mummy! xxx"
Hayley – who played Andrea Beckett on ‘Corrie’ from 2013 to 2015 – gave birth earlier this month as she and her fiance Adrian celebrated their new arrival.
She wrote on Twitter at the time: "He’s here. He’s incredible. And we are besotted."
The soap star announced in April she was expecting a baby, and Adrian popped the question just three weeks later.
Last month, the star – who also played Del Dingle in ‘Emmerdale’ – hit back at trolls, insisting "no one has the right to tell women what to do with our bodies", after a Twitter user hit out at her for posting naked baby bump pictures.
Hayley wrote: "Almost 24 weeks and Feeling the stretch now! I’m smothered in @mamamio every little kick and punch is getting stronger. Feels incredibly and weirdly wonderful! (sic)
But the Twitter user replied: "Ok, you’re pregnant. Now, put it away. (sic)"
Hayley hit back: "Ooh Linda… sure you wanna keep going on here love? (sic)"
She later thanked her fans for their support, and insisted she will continue to show off her bump if she wants to.
She tweeted: "You lot are a wonderful bunch! Besides Linda of course.. and 2 other trolls who I’ve blocked! Thanks for all your lovely positive tweets!
No one has the right to tell us women what to do with our bodies. And if I wanna show off my bump.. I’m gonna. sleep tight everyone. (sic)"
