Actress Sally Carman has been filming one of her biggest storylines in Coronation Street as fans saw her character Abi Franklin sensationally give birth to a surprise baby on Sunday. But she has found a moment to see the funny side. As she acted the harrowing scenes, which saw Abi gives birth to a very premature baby having not known she was pregnant, Sally was amused by the very realistic fake baby she used.
She said: “The one we've got? Looks exactly like Chris Lilly – the Australian comedy guy who does Ja’mie Private School Girl. I was in hysterics for like the first hour on that. " Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter.
Sally then added that the baby began to look like an even bigger star – some would say one of the biggest stars on the planet. She recalls: "And then because the baby's got like black hair – and quite a lot of it – he then morphed into Paul McCartney.” The actress went on to take us behind-the-scenes on the dramatic labour, and how filming with the fake baby also brought the horror of her character giving birth to a very premature child. “The [fake babies] do look real – and they breathe.
And because there are so tiny – it was like smaller than a little chicken baby – and with these monologues Abi is speaking, it was really hard to do them without crying. Because you are just like: “Oh my goodness, babies exist at this size.” So it was quite intense, too.” In the coming weeks there will be no let up for Abi as she faces becoming a mother again. But despite the long days, the actress is on a high with the role right now.
