Jennie McAlpine has revealed that she is naming her baby after a Coro St co-star

Jennie McAlpine, or Fizz as most will know her from Coronation Street has revealed on a popular UK chat show that she will be naming her baby after a fellow Coronation Street resident.

She said that she is due in October and there are plenty of names on the cards, but she'll 'probably' settle for one from the show.

"It will probably be named after a Coronation Street character like Albert was, but not on purpose. But all the gorgeous names have all been in Coronation Street. So probably that."

Apparently she is going to let her son Albert choose the name, but he might have other ideas about it being named after a Coronation St cast member.

"At the moment it might be called Chase of Marshall after Paw Patrol characters, so we will see."
