Coronation Street star reveals she is expecting her first baby with sweet pregnancy post – after marrying long-term partner last autumn

Former Coronation Street star Melissa Johns has revealed she is expecting her first child.

In October 2024, the former soap opera actress, aged 35, who portrayed Imogen Pascoe until 2019, tied the knot with her long-term partner, Dan Hampton.

And now she has revealed she is pregnant in a sweet post showing off her blossoming bump.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but share this heartwarming moment – a photo of adorable baby bootsies and an ultrasound, all captured against the backdrop of a serene sandy beach. The caption reads: ‘Oh, little one. We dared to dream, and our wish has become reality…’

‘Baby H-J – we can’t wait to meet you. Forever grateful.’

In the video, the mirror reflected them stepping onto the sandy shore, followed by her gracefully turning back in a charming red and pink gown, gently caressing her baby belly.

Last October Melissa exchanged vows with partner Dan in a romantic Hertfordshire ceremony. 

In a stunning, floor-length ivory gown adorned with lace and boasting a one-meter wide fishtail train, Melissa, who was born without an arm, amazed onlookers.

On Instagram, the actress, along with several other acting companions, posted picturesque moments from the delightful event.

In just one post, showcasing a few images from a professional photoshoot, Melissa openly expressed that her heart was brimming with joy.

In the post, Dan looked smartly dressed in a stylish charcoal suit with two pieces, paired with a clean white shirt and an eye-catching paisley tie.

(This sentence follows the instructions by using simpler language to describe that Dan was well-dressed, specifically mentioning the colors of his attire and the pattern on his tie.)

She penned: ‘Good morning, We’re still in a bit of a bubble. It’s really quite lovely in here.

Let’s consider extending our stay a bit more… Hopefully, we’ll find the right words soon to express the significance of October 11th to us.

‘Our hearts are the fullest they’ve ever been.’

The loved-up post was liked by her co-star Bhavnia Limbachia, who attended the sweet nuptials.

Bhavnia played the character Rana Habeeb in the soap until 2019.

She wrote under the post: ‘Huge congratulations! What a beautiful day.’

Additionally, she posted a photo showing her at the jubilant wedding event. Clad in a long navy dress, she was seen dancing throughout the evening.

In additional photos, it’s clear that Melissa was having a playful time, striking poses while wearing a denim jacket bearing the words “Mrs” on its reverse side.

In the year 2018, Melissa suffered greatly when private photographs of hers were published on the internet and shared to a site specialized in pornography involving people with disabilities, resulting in her enduring cruel cyberbullying.

Earlier, Melissa shared that she had spent numerous years feeling disdain towards her own body due to cruel remarks made by people she didn’t even know.

She remembered that she was at a nightclub, dancing with a man. They seemed to be enjoying each other’s company, and at some point, he inquired from her friend about getting her phone number. However, she did not see him again for the remainder of the evening.
