Coronation Street star Mikey North has revealed the name of his new daughter, born in September this year, is Eliza.
The Coronation Street cast member, who plays Gary Windass, and his wife Rachael Isherwood welcomed the baby girl in September but stayed quiet until now.
Speaking to OK! magazine, the 33-year-old admitted the birth of their second child wasn't as easy as they'd hoped, as Rachael had ended up being more than two weeks overdue.
He told the mag: "It was the longest 16 days ever, it was like waiting for the end of time!"
But it seems Rachael was having a good time.

In fact, Mikey explained that she "tried it on" with him while they were still in the hospital ward due to the pain relief.
He said: "I was like, 'Rach, you're in labour, it's probably not the right time and that's how we got in this mess in the first place!'"
However, while Rachael was feeling fine, Mikey admitted he is "the worst" birthing partner "in the world".
The actor said: "I was just nervously pacing around the whole time and Rach shouted at me to sit down.
"Hates off to any woman that gives birth. I'm just thankful I don't have to do it."

The couple already have a two-year-old son together, Archie, though Mikey previously said he'd be "highly surprised" if they had any more children after their second.
Their little lad also had a lot of say in his sister's name too, it seems.
Mikey told the publication: "Archie wouldn't let us call her anything else anyway, so he partly chose the name, but we're keeping it a secret."
