Katherine Kelly is pregnant with her first child.
The former 'Coronation Street' actress and her husband Ryan Clark - who tied the knot at a secret ceremony in Las Vegas last month - have announced the happy news that they are expecting a baby together and are due to welcome the tiny tot into the world in March.
Katherine took to Twitter yesterday (15.09.13), writing: "Ryan & I are overjoyed to announce that we are expecting a baby! Feeling very blessed! (sic)."
The couple, who have been dating for three years, ran off to the US gambling capital just three weeks ago, telling their family they were only going for a holiday, but instead they enjoyed an intimate ceremony on August 20.
Katherine said previously: "The day was everything we hoped it would be - no fuss, low-key, sunshine and just us."
The 33-year-old - who played feisty Becky McDonald on the ITV soap and has also appeared on 'Mr. Selfridge' - preferred the low-key wedding at the Little Church of the West because it meant she got Australian digital analyst manager Ryan all to herself.
She explained: "So many people say you have to remember to grab hold of your bride or groom and spend time with them. I think if we had done a traditional wedding we would have been doing it for everyone else but this was about the two of us."
