Congratulations are in order because Coronation Street star Jennie McAlpine is a new mum once again!
What to Read Next
A message posted on the Fiz Brown actress's Twitter account on Tuesday night (October 30) assured fans that she was resting comfortably after welcoming her and husband Chris Farr's daughter.
"Our newest addition arrived yesterday. Mummy and Daddy very happy. Big brother very proud of his little sister Hilda. We're all in love," the post read.
The choice of the name Hilda immediately brings to mind the iconic Coronation Street character Hilda Ogden, who played the late Jean Alexander on the soap for more than 20 years.

Earlier this year, Jennie had hinted that her daughter would "probably be named after a Coronation Street character", just like son Albert.
In light of the happy news, many of Jennie's past and present co-stars have been congratulating her on social media:
"Ahhh yay! Huge congratulations to you all Jen... sooo happy for you," Samia Longchambon tweeted, with Jane Danson adding: "Congratulations to you all . Sending lots of love."
Over the summer, Jennie said that she was relishing having some time off from work for the rest of the year so she could spend quality time with the baby once it arrived.
"When I was pregnant the first time around I told the bosses within days of Cath Tyldesley (Eva Price) and Paula Lane (Kylie Platt) also telling the bosses they were pregnant," she remembered. "This time around it's just me, so they weren't as worried about finding ways to write me out."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
