Delight rippled through soap fans as Sacha Parkinson, renowned for her performance as Sian Powers on Coronation Street from 2009 to 2011, declared the arrival of her first child on Tuesday, 15 April. The 33-year-old actress celebrated the joyous occasion on Instagram with a captivating black-and-white snap of her newborn daughter, enthusiastically captioning it: ‘One whole week of Sadie’. The news was met with an outpouring of warm wishes from her Coronation Street colleagues, soap enthusiasts, and a substantial Instagram following of 72.9K.
The first hint of baby news came last Christmas Eve when Sacha unveiled her burgeoning baby bump in a series of Polaroid images. 2023 was a year marked with personal joy for Sacha, as she also announced her engagement to her partner Jon, who proposed during a holiday retreat. The actress has fondly reminisced about her time on Coronation Street, where she and co-star Brooke Vincent made history as Weatherfield’s first lesbian couple. Despite their on-screen relationship coming to a premature end, the two have maintained a strong bond off-screen, with Brooke sharing Sacha’s baby announcement on her own Instagram profile.
Following her departure from Coronation Street, Sacha has continued to grace the small screen in a variety of roles, including The Mill, My Mad Fat Diary, Mr Selfridge, Safe House, Cold Feet, The Pebble and the Boy, and Platform 7.
