Corrie's Becky and Steve ponder baby plot

Rex Features

Coronation Street's Simon Gregson and Katherine Kelly have speculated about a potential baby twist for their Weatherfield characters.

When asked if a pregnancy is on the cards, Kelly - who plays brash barmaid Becky McDonald - told DS at the TV Quick and TV Choice Awards: "They've sort of got a family, haven't they? I don't know! Everyone keeps asking this... I suppose it's just the inevitable after they've got married, isn't it?"

She added: "As far as we know, there's no baby. I think it'd be hysterical, though, because [Becky] would have to stop smoking and that would be horrendous."

Gregson, who portrays Kelly's screen husband Steve McDonald, added: "I think somebody knows something we don't! Everyone's asking the same question!... I think if they do it, it should be a girl and look just like Becky but that big with the massive earrings."
