Is Amy Barlow pregnant on Coronation Street? Who got her pregnant?
In 2019, Amy discovered she was pregnant at 14 years old. At first she refused to say who the father is, but eventually Tracy sussed out it was 17-year-old Tyler Jefferies, who terrorised Amy’s cousin Simon.
Originally the teenager decided she wanted to keep the baby. However when her parents talked of adopting her baby, she had a termination behind their backs.
