While we do not yet know the sex of the baby, a friend close to the couple told The Sun that “Helen gave birth on Monday in Birmingham, and she is still there recovering.”

The insider went on to say that “It is hoped that she’ll be back home in a day or so. It is very exciting for them, and both of their families.”

The former Corrie star and her Aston Villa beau have been in an on and off again relationship for five years.

Helen has said that she has always wanted to be a mum and that she would be ready for a baby before she would make the commitment of getting married.
