Corrie’s Mikey North and wife Rachael share first photo of their newborn daughter

Keeley Ryan

Coronation Street’s Mikey North and his wife Rachael have shared the first photo of their newborn daughter – and her name is just adorable. 

They welcomed their second child together back in September. The couple already have a two-year-old son, Archie.

The proud parents released their first photos as a family of four through OK! Magazine, where they also announced their daughter’s name: Eliza.

In the interview, Rachael also spoke about how the labour had been a bit “bizarre”.

“I ended up being 16 days overdue, which was ridiculous,” she explained. “They decided to finally induce me but we had to wait a few days for a bed to become free.”

The mum-of-two explained that it was “bizarre” to know she would be going into the hospital to be induced, rather than going into labour naturally.

“It was like having a casual appointment and then leaving with a baby,” she added.

Mikey, meanwhile, said that it had been the “longest 16 days ever”, adding: ” It was like waiting for the end of time!”

Rachael and Mikey tied the knot in Worcestershire in 2016, three years after they met. They welcomed their first child together, Archie, in 2017.
