Julia Goulding: Lockdown is a small blessing

Julia Goulding thinks lockdown has been a "small blessing" after spending extra time with her son.

The 35-year-old actress – who has seven-month-old son Franklin with husband Ben Silver – has previously missed her tot’s milestones while at work, but since the pandemic halted production on ‘Coronation Street’, she’s been there to witness the precious moments.

She told Inside Soap magazine: "He is just wonderful. I was there when his first tooth came through!

"It’s been a small blessing in a really rubbish situation."

Julia announced she’d welcomed the latest addition to her family in December with a picture of the pair in a wood while she was in early labour.

She wrote on Instagram: "Thank you to the lovely couple in the park who took this picture for us: Taken as I was in early labour on my due date. The next day Ben and I welcomed our baby son into the world. Franklin Wolf Silver born on 30/11/19. (sic)"

The soap star – who plays Shona Ramsey on the ITV soap – previously admitted Franklin has changed her life "for the better".

She said: "He’s changed our lives for the better in every way. I feel like I’ve known him my whole life."

Meanwhile, Julia previously revealed she’d "vetoed" Ben’s plan to name their baby Han Solo.

She said: "We’ve got a lot of girls’ names but we haven’t got any boys’ names yet."

Ben added: "I want Han if it’s a boy as then he’ll be Han Silver, which sounds like Han Solo and I’m a big ‘Star Wars’ fan."

Julia replied: "Plus, Ben thinks he looks like a young Harrison Ford.

"I’ve ruled out Han so boys’ names are proving difficult."
