Kirk Sutherland

The Coronation street actor Andy Whyment who plays the part of Kirk Sutherland, has become a dad at the weekend.

His wife Nicola, gave birth to the couples first child, a son they’ve named Thomas.  The couple married in July 2007.

There seems to be a definite baby-boom on the Street with Tina O’Brien, who played Sarah Platt about to give birth any day and her on-screen brother, David Platt, played by Jack P Shepherd, is due to become a dad in February 2009.

Carla Connor, played by Alison King, Leanne Battersby, played by Jane Dansan and Vicki Dankowska, played by Wanda Opalinska, are also all pregnant.
