The two stars' characters Chesney Brown and Gemma Winter are welcoming quadruplets to their Weatherfield home after Gemma goes into labour on the ITV soap this week while trapped in a cable car.

The pair have already been shooting scenes with their new on-screen family and although it was first believed that eight tots would be sharing the workload, due to babies and children having limits on many hours they are legally allowed to film, Sam has now revealed there are a set of twins and a set of triplets on set but they have been pretty easy going so far.

When asked about the his new castmates, Sam said: "There's five. Normally when you have one child on the show like a baby, obviously you have a double. So we thought we were gonna have eight, but there's five."

In an interview on 'Lorraine', he added: "There's triplets, and twins. The twins are a boy and a girl, and the triplets are two girls and a boy."

Sam, 26, insists his concerns about working with five babies were alleviated pretty quickly, although they naturally do "whinge a bit" when they are hungry.

He said: "We were really panicking about it, but they just kinda sleep, they feed and they whinge a bit."

Dolly, 32, added: "It's not as bad as I thought it was gonna be."
