Jennie McAlpine took to Twitter on Sunday to announce that she was expecting her second baby, and was quickly congratulated by her fans and Coronation Street co-stars. However, the actress later realised that she had made a typo, which gave some of her followers the wrong idea about the news. Jennie's original post read: "We've got a bit of news. Pur baby boy is going to be a big brother later this year. We can't wait to meet you precious one x," causing some people to believe that it was in fact her cat that was pregnant!
