CORONATION STREET STAR CHARLIE CONDOU BECOMES FATHER AGAIN WITH CATHERINE KANTER
13th January 2012
It's shaping up to be quite the month
for a celebrity baby boom. Coronation Street actor Charlie Condou, who plays
Marcus Dent in the ITV1 soap, welcomed his second child into the world on
Wednesday. Female friend Catherine Kanter, who gave birth to a baby boy, has
played the fairy godmother by undergoing IVF to conceive with the gay star.
Charlie, 39, announced the good
news on Twitter, simply writing: 'Happy Birthday Hal Condou'. He then joked:
'Thanks for all your messages. Obviously I don't know him very well yet, but he
seems like a lovely bloke #HalCondou'.
The former Casualty and Peak Practice
star is already father to two-year-old daughter Georgia Mae, whom he brings up
with Catherine, the girl's biological mother, and his boyfriend Cameron Laux. Fellow
Corrie beauty Kym Marsh initially revealed that her co-star Charlie was
expecting back in July. Coundou confirmed the news online, saying: 'I'm having
another baby! Can't wait, though it took me ages to get my figure back last
time.'
Art imitates life for Charlie, who
has a same-sex relationship with Antony Cotton in the fictional town of
Weatherfield. Sacha Parkinson, who left the show last month after her lesbian
wedding ended in disaster, has already tweeted her support. The blonde teenager
wrote: '@Charliecondou yayyyyyyy congratulations you hunkydunkkkk! Lots of love
to the family, :)! See you soonnnn x' Former Hear'Say singer Marsh also sent
her love, saying: 'Welcome to the world Hal Condou!!! Congratulations Charlie
you are a fab daddy and I'm very proud of you both xxx'
When his Corrie co-star Ryan
Thomas (Jason Grimshaw) joked that the 39-year-old would be "the best
dad in the world apart from me", Condou jested: "He's already got a
bigger kn*b than you."
Charlie writes a weekly column for
The Guardian about his family arrangements, called "The Three of Us"
- it looks like they're going to have to update that title now!
