One fan said: “Ah suits you! Adorable…congratulations to you all x.” Other lovely messages read: “Congratulations to you all. Glamorous grandparents! and: "This is pure joy!! Congrats to you all.”
Sally is best known for playing Rovers Return barmaid Shelley Unwin on Corrie from 2001 to 2006, but she recently ruled out a return to the cobbles.
The actress stars in Channel 5 cosy crime comedy drama series The Madame Blanc Mysteries, which she co-created alongside Sue Vincent, and she admits a Corrie comeback is "probably not for [her]".
Speaking to Radio Times magazine, Sally said: "It's a great job and I've always said this about Coronation Street, never say never. It has been many years now and I've got my own show and I produce as well, so it's probably not for me."
However, Sally has backed other former Coronation Street stars to return to Weatherfield, insisting it is a "great job".
She added: "But I absolutely think it's the best thing ever for people to go back, because it's like another world. It's a great job."
