Julia Goulding has confirmed Coronation Street’s David Platt and Shona Ramsey will marry.
The cobbles couple are currently in testing times after Shona – played by Julia – called off their engagement last week after David (Jack P. Shepherd) revealed he had spent part of his gran Audrey Roberts’ (Sue Nicholls) stolen money, but another Weatherfield wedding is definitely on the way.
She said: "At the moment the engagement is off, but I am allowed to say that we will be getting married.
"I think she’s tried really hard to bring herself out of the gutter and I think she calms him. I think she makes him a bit more mature."
As well as her character’s nuptials to look forward to, Julia is expecting a baby with her husband Ben Silver – who she married earlier this year – and she revealed the news to her ‘Corrie’ co-stars by sending them a picture of herself with a ‘Baby on Board’ badge in the soap WhatsApp group.
She said: "I told the girls on our WhatsApp group and had a ‘Baby on Board’ badge down in London and sent them a little selfie.
"Tina [O’Brien] and Jane [Danson] knew for quite a while. They both picked up on it to be fair and they’ve been wonderful. So kind and lovely."
Julia also admitted ‘Corrie’ producers will no doubt hide her growing baby bump with the Rovers Return bar when she films scenes in the fictional boozer, and is now glad her character wears baggy clothes.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’, she added: "Lucky for me, Shona does wear quite baggy clothes. I think we’ll be able to hide it. Maybe some Rovers scenes with the bar."
Julia recently joked she will request a double-barrelled surname if Shona marries David to try to avoid being the victim of a Platt family curse, after his wife Kylie Platt (Paula Lane) was murdered, and his mum Gail Platt (Helen Worth) has a long list of dead husbands.
She quipped: "I might push for a double-barrelled surname and not be a complete Platt."
