One of Katherine’s delighted followers commented on Rose’s hair, writing, “Lovely curls” alongside a kissing-face emoji.

Katherine very rarely uses social media and doesn’t often post photos of her two children, whom she shares with husband Ryan Clark.

The last time she posted about them was last autumn, when she uploaded a sweet picture of her cuddling her kids.

She simply captioned the pic: “Birthday Love.”

The former soap actress waited several months before revealing Rose’s birth, telling Hello! magazine at the time: “We didn’t go out of our way to keep it a secret but we didn’t announce the pregnancy so people were not immediately on bump watch. So it’s been wonderful to have this precious time just for us.

“We have been so lucky to have this special time again to enjoy the early months with Rose.

“You never get this time back, do you? The joy that they bring – it is like Christmas every day when our two girls open their eyes each morning and look at us.”

Katherine joined Coronation Street in 2006 and played Weatherfield’s Becky McDonald until leaving the soap in 2012.

Her other big roles include Lady Mae in ITV’s Mr Selfridge and, more recently, a beleaguered university lecturer in tense thriller Cheat.
