Her character was written out of the soap after she got a job offer she couldn’t refuse in Norwich.

The actress has revealed all about her daughter’s early arrival – five months after she was born.

She shared that her arrival came earlier than expected, which shocked her and her husband of six years Chris Farr.

The mother-of-three told OK magazine: “I’m so aware of how precious this time is and just how quickly it goes. It’s chaos, though. I mean, it was chaos before but now it’s another level!”

Her daughter’s name is Doris and she was born just before midnight on April 4 at Manchester’s Wythenshawe Hospital, weighing 7lbs 11oz.

Jennie reveals the reason behind her baby’s name and teases the patter of more tiny feet in the future.
