Sharing precious photographs of their newest family member, Paula wrote on Instagram: “Welcome to the ranch Patrick. We are all completely and utterly in love… So longed for…thank you for completing us”.

Now, just a matter of days since baby Patrick’s arrival, Paula – who departed Emmerdale last year – has updated her social media followers on how she’s settling into this wonderful new phase of her life. The television personality posted multiple images to Instagram showcasing her life over the last 10 days, reports the Mirror.

The collection featured tender moments between her and newborn Patrick. Paula captioned the post: “The past 10 days of you. My lucky little charm. Lots of feeding, cuddles, Monopoly and gentle dog walks. Soaking up every second.”

Paula is best known for her portrayal of Kylie on Corrie, with the character introduced as Becky McDonald’s sister (played by Katherine Kelly). She later developed a relationship with David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd), eventually becoming his wife.

Yet, six years after her debut, Kylie faced a tragic fate in scenes that aired in 2016. Viewers watched as Paula’s character died in her weeping husband David’s embrace, lying on the street after sustaining fatal knife wounds.

Coronation Street airs Monday to Friday at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX
