Coronation Street star gives birth to second child and reveals adorable name
CORONATION Street and Hollyoaks actress Sonia Ibrahim has given birth to her second child. The soap star, 36, welcomed a little boy named Carter Benjamin Machin and introduced him to her followers on Instagram this afternoon. 4 Sonia, who is best known for playing Mel Maguire in the ITV soap, looked adoringly at the newborn in a sweet snap. She wrote: 'Sunday 22nd June at 10:26pm my life became complete. My beautiful boy Carter Benjamin Machin arrived, 7lbs of pure perfection. You are loved more than you will ever know little man.' Sonia, who is married to Arron Machin, was congratulated on her bundle of joy as her friends and followers took to the comments section. Corrie stars including Lucy Fallon and Hollyoaks actress Jessica Fox were two of the first to send messages. Sonia announced she was expecting her second baby in February, three after the birth of her first child, Sienna. She had a baby shower with her nearest and dearest three weeks ago, even managing a few dance moves in a figure-hugging cream dress. Coronation Street and Waterloo Road star reveals she's pregnant with baby boy as famous pals congratulate her Writing at the time, she said: "The most perfect afternoon spent with the most beautiful people showering my little Prince. "Thank you so much to the kindest, most thoughtful beautiful besties I could wish for organising my baby shower we love you." Sonia had memorable moments in Corrie as brainwashed salon assistant Mel. She kidnapped Bethany Platt, threatening her with a wheel wrench before stuffing her into a car in a bid to stop the schoolgirl testifying against vile groomer Nathan Curtis in court. Sonia told us at the time: "She knows what all these men are capable of and she's petrified of them all but she's in love with Nathan. "He groomed her from the start; in his eyes, he knew what she wanted from Mel. "He picked her because Mel doesn't have a family; she's a very vulnerable girl, and he knew what he could do to her, so in his eyes, he saw his victim straight away. After her exit, she said: "It's been an amazing time, it's been great to work here. "The opportunity I've had is amazing and it's just a massive family and everyone's so welcoming and it's so nice to work with such great people." Last year she starred as school social worker Jamilah Omar for six episodes in Waterloo Road, before moving on to Hollyoaks in November, playing Kat Omari. 4 4
