CORONATION Street star Sam Aston’s wife Briony let him know he was going to be a dad with the sweetest message over breakfast.
The loved-up revealed they are going to have a baby boy in September and Briony was so excited to tell her husband she couldn’t sleep.
The yoga instructor woke up at 3am in her early pregnancy and couldn’t sleep, so planned a cute way to let Sam know the good news.
She prepared the Corrie star toast and eggs, but served them on a personalised wooden board that read, “Daddy, you’re a good egg. All my love, Bumble Bee [Sam’s nickname for Briony].”
Briony shared the special moment on Instagram which was complete with a positive home pregnancy test.
She captioned the photo: “Sat waiting for my next midwife appointment and reminiscing over when our incredible journey started (the morning I woke at 3am and had to wait til breakfast time to tell Sam) 
.”
Her 12.5 thousand followers loved the post and showered her with congratulations.
One fan wrote: “What a lovely story this photo tells.”
While another added: “What a fantastic way to announce it x”
A third said: “Soo cute you two.”
The loved-up couple’s first child is due in September, and they hope it will be the first of many in the years to come.
Speaking to OK! Sam said: “We’re having a boy! It was a massive surprise when we found out, as there are loads of girls in our families, so we were adamant we were having a girl.”
While 24 weeks pregnant Briony added: “We found out the day before lockdown. Sam couldn’t come with me because of the current rules, so I got the consultant to write the sex on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope and we both then sat in the car and opened it together. We were over the moon.”
Sam, who has eight siblings, said one child is “perfect for now” and joked: “I’m glad it’s not quads.”
Briony went on to add they would love to “fill their house with kids”.
The pair announced they were expecting just a week ago, and have now revealed they were only trying for four or five weeks.
Sam, 26, who plays dad-of-five Chesney Brown in Corrie, previously told the publication: “I’m so happy!”
He and on-screen partner Gemma Winter have their hands full with baby quadruplets, and Sam admitted handling babies on set has given him more confidence for when his own child is born.
Sam and yoga instructor Briony, 25, got married last year, two years after announcing their engagement.
They exchanged their vows – and did a yoga-themed first dance – in front of friends, family members and his soap co-stars at Stock Farm in Cheshire.
Last month, the couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary together while living in lockdown at their incredible countryside cottage.
Sam recently explained that he and Briony “liked the idea of a big family” but said that “neither of them felt ready” for children yet.
He said: “We want to enjoy being married for a while first and do some more travelling.”
Sam and Briony met as teenagers, striking up a relationship over early computer messaging app MSN Messenger.
He told the Mirror: “Briony and I met when I was about 15 or 16. We talked through MSN.”
They met again year later, when she helped out at a drama workshop he was running, with Sam explaining: “We went for a meal that night at a country pub and that was it. We’ve been together ever since.”
