Hayley Tamaddon: Coronation Street star accidentally blurts out baby’s gender on Lorraine

Hayley Tamaddon, 42, chatted to host Lorraine Kelly about her pregnancy on the ITV show today.

The former Coronation Street star couldn’t contain her excitement as she spoke about meeting her little one.

But at the end of her interview, the soap regular may have regretted being on the programme as she accidentally blurted out the sex of the baby to Lorraine.

The host said to the actress: “So happy for you, relax and take it easy.”

“And, obviously, you’ll be bouncing back with a little baby, how great is that?”

“I’ll be bringing him…” Hayley began before squealing and holding her hands to her mouth, adding: “Erm her.”

Giggling away, Hayley said: “I think I might have just told you what it is…”

Confirming Hayley is having a boy, Lorraine acknowledged: “I think I’ll be knitting blue booties then.”

Last month, Hayley announced she was expecting her first child with her now-fiancé, Adrian, by sharing the news with a stunning snap of herself cradling her bump.

Speaking to Lorraine about getting pregnant, Hayley admitted she didn’t think it was possible due to her age and previous health problems.

“You get to 40 and you think that’s it,” she candidly divulged. “There’s a greater risk of miscarriage, we did go through that. But it taught us I could get pregnant.”

The former soap star continued: “I’ve got to 42 thinking it’s never going to happen. I’ve had a lot of ovarian trouble throughout my life with ovarian cysts bursting and all that.”

Speaking about her partner, Hayley said: “Then I met Adrian who I knew wanted children and we took our relationship very slow to start with. I said, ‘I can’t have kids, don’t think its going to happen to me’.

“He said, ‘That’s okay, maybe we can adopt,’ so again I thought it won’t happen.”

Hayley spoke about how she met the father of her baby and revealed they grew up in the same street and went to the same school.

“We lived 10 doors apart,” she spilled. “Then 30 years later I rang an estate agent and it happened to be him.”

The mum-to-be continued: “We couldn’t believe it! We were then friends for five years then found ourselves.”

Earlier this month, Hayley revealed Adrian had proposed to her following two years of being together.

Announcing the news by flaunting her eye-popping ring to the camera, she captioned her Twitter picture: “HE PROPOSED… I said YES!!!! This year is turning out to be quite wonderful.”

Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV from 8.30am.
