Coronation Street legend announces she’s set to become a grandmother for the first time
The soap star has revealed the sex of her new grandchild alongside a sweet photo
ONE of Coronation Street’s most legendary stars has revealed she is about to become a grandmother for the first time.
Sally Lindsay, 51, has shared her excitement while revealing that her stepdaughter Kristabel is expecting her first child.
Taking to social media, Sally – who famously played Shelley Unwin in Corrie – shared a sweet picture of herself next to the mum-to-be.
Tagging in her husband Steve White, she wrote: “Very proud to announce that me and @whitneydrums are going to be Grandparents.”
Kristabel’s mother Hayley also features in the sweet snap and the grandmothers-to-be look thrilled to be standing next their glowing daughter.
Sally added: “Our @kristabelwhite and Louis are having a baby boy very soon.
“Here with fellow Nana @hayleyjanemarsh1.”
Kristabel is the daughter of Sally’s husband Steve, who she married in 2013.
The couple had got together romantically when Kristabel and her brother Curtis were just seven and nine years old.
Love Rat star Sally and Steve also have their own children, twins Victor and Louie, who are now 14.
Last year, Sally spoke to about juggling motherhood with her acting career.
She said: “Well, I’ve never not had kids really, ever since meeting my partner, Steve; he already had two children when we got together – my step children Kristabel and Curtis – they were 7 and 9 when I first met them, they are now 30 and 29 – which is crazy!”
Meanwhile, it has been a busy time for Sally of late.
Not only is she busy prepping for the arrival of her grandson, but Sally has shot a seven-episode series of The Madame Blanc Mysteries.
The new series begins with a Christmas special and Sally takes the lead role of Jean White, an antiques dealer and amateur sleuth.
She is the key to solving a slew of killings and mysteries set against the picturesque French village of Sainte Victoire.
The series also stars Steve Edge from Benidorm and Sue Vincent from Shameless.
Reprising their roles as eccentric married couple Jeremy and Judith Llyod, will be Robin Askwith from Strike and Sue Holderness best known for her role in Only Fools and Horses.
