The Sam Aston family and Coronation Street cast has sent a massive shockwave of pure joy across the entire soap world…

Coronation Street star Sam Aston is set to welcome his fourth child with wife Briony after the couple shared the adorable update on their social media.

The actor is famed for playing Chesney Brown in the ITV soap. Sam was only 10-years-old when he was cast in the ITV soap as the son of Cilla Battersby-Brown and the half-brother of Fiz Stape.

Viewers have watched Chesney grow up on screen, with it now being well over 20 years since his first appearance on the cobbles, fans have followed his journey on the Weatherfield cobbles as well as his personal life.

In some exciting news for the family of five, Briony and Sam took to Instagram as they shared a sweet video announcing that baby number four is on the way.

Their children are being pulled along the floor by Sam, and Hazel was seen beaming and holding onto an ultrasound scan picture of her soon-to-be baby sibling. The couple wrote: “Here we go again… baby Aston #4,” followed by a Christmas tree emoji perhaps teasing the due date.
