Gary Windass is now over the moon at the prospect of becoming a father on Coronation Street. And life is pretty good as well for actor Mikey North, who plays him.
But North’s world was shaken up when his wheelchair-bound girlfriend Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) revealed she was pregnant.
“At first it took him by surprise because it kind of came from nowhere,” says Mikey. “But now he’s come round to it and he’s the happiest guy alive. He can’t wait to be a dad. Gary and Izzy’s hearts are set on having a baby now.”
