Rebecca Ryan, best known for her role as Debbie Gallagher in Shameless, has just announced some exciting news - she is expecting her second child! The 33-year-old actress, who also played Lydia Chambers on Coronation Street, shared the happy news on her Instagram this weekend, along with some adorable photos of her cradling her growing baby bump.
For those who may not remember, Lydia was quite the troublemaker on the cobbles, seeking revenge on her ex-boyfriend Adam Barlow by targeting his wife Sarah Platt. But in real life, Rebecca has a much happier story - she married husband Dan Acraman in 2023 and welcomed their first child, daughter Aurora, the same year.
Last September, Rebecca shared a beautiful picture of her and Dan on their wedding day, captioning it "Forever with you is not long enough." Unfortunately, their plans for a big celebration were put on hold due to the pandemic, but it seems they have even more to celebrate now with the news of another little one on the way.
Rebecca's Instagram post was flooded with well wishes from her former co-stars, including her real-life brother Jack James Ryan, who played Jacob Hay on Coronation Street. Her Waterloo Road co-star Harriet Bibby and Emmerdale's Charley Webb also expressed their excitement for the growing family.
But it's not just her former co-stars who are eagerly anticipating the new arrival - her mom Maranna also shared her joy, writing "Grandma is very, very happy." And it's no surprise, as Rebecca has had a successful career in soaps, with roles in Waterloo Road and Casualty in addition to Shameless and Coronation Street.
