Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has reportedly told producers that she'd like her character to have a baby.

The actress, who plays Michelle Connor in the ITV1 soap, recently returned to work following the birth of daughter Polly in March.

Bosses had planned for Michelle to have a baby in 2010, but scrapped the storyline after the death of Marsh's son Archie, who was born 18 weeks early.

Viewers will now see Michelle and boyfriend Ciaran McCarthy (Keith Duffy) discuss starting a family when they return to Weatherfield next month, according to the Daily Star Sunday.

She tells him: "I'm sorry Ciaran but I'm not getting any younger and my body clock's ticking. I want more babies and I want them now. And if you don't want the same thing then maybe it's time we went our separate ways."

Duffy will leave Coronation Street at Christmas in a "very dramatic" exit storyline.
