She's best known for playing outspoken Coronation Street character Shona Platt. But actress Julia Goulding looked a far cry from all the drama on the Weatherfield cobbles as she attended The Baby Show with her husband Ben Silver.
Julia, from Middleton, and her hubby were all smiles at the event held at Birmingham NEC, a one-stop shop for products and advice from parenting experts on everything from sleep, weaning, breastfeeding and first aid. The 37-year-old star looked stunning in a stylish white shirt worn with blue jeans and a black blazer jacket.
She swapped Shona's edgy eyeliner for a more natural makeup as she posed alongside her man. And instead of Shona's trademark bun, Julia wore her long brunette tresses loose.

The couple welcomed their son Franklin Wolf Silver in November 2019. Announcing the news she said: "Thank you to the lovely couple in the park who took this picture for us. Taken as I was in early labour on my due date. The next day Ben and I welcomed our baby son into the world. Franklin Wolf Silver born on 30/11/19."
Julia added: "He's changed our lives for the better in every way. I feel like I've known him my whole life." The actress returned to filming in February 2020 after her character suffered a brain injury when she was shot by drunk gunman Derek Milligan.
Shona made a comeback to the soap unable to remember her husband David or any of her life with the Platt family. She has since rebuilt memories and adjusted to life in Weatherfield again.
For a while their relationship appeared to be on the rocks as newcomer Daisy Midgeley had David in her sights. But there was a romantic moment at Christmas 2020 as Gail Platt's youngest son re-enacted their wedding day for her with his children Max and Lily.
Julia, 37, has played Shona in the soap since 2016. She met and fell for David following the tragic death of his wife Kylie. She settled down Weatherfield but provided a shock for the Platts when she revealed that she was in fact the mother of Clayton Hibbs, the thug who stabbed Kylie to death.
David forgave her shocking secret. But killer Clayton threatened to tear them apart again by asking his mum to help him in prison because he was being bullied by his inmates.
