Former Corrie star Sonia Ibrahim is best known for playing villainous Mel Maguire in the ITV soap, but she has since moved to Channel 4's Hollyoaks, where she plays the enigmatic Kat Coronation Street and Hollyoaks star Sonia Ibrahim has welcomed her second baby, announcing his adorable name on Instagram. The soap actress, 36, posted a photo of baby Carter Benjamin Machin, giving her followers a glimpse of her sweet bundle of joy. Sonia, best known for portraying her character Mel Maguire in Corrie, could be seen gazing at her new baby in the photo she shared. She wrote: 'Sunday 22nd June at 10:26pm my life became complete. My beautiful boy Carter Benjamin Machin arrived, 7lbs of pure perfection. You are loved more than you will ever know little man.' Fans and friends flocked to the comments to congratulate Sonia, who is also mum to three-year-old Sienna. Fellow Corrie star Lucy Fallon wrote: "Gorgeous, congratulations xxxxx." Mum-fluencer Lucy Elizabeth Adamson replied: "Stop it," followed by a series of crying emojis. Ashely Taylor Dawson, who plays Darren on Hollyoaks, added: "Congratulations to you and your beautiful family! So happy for you all! Massive love." Actress Sonia announced she was growing her family in February, when she shared an adorable clip showing her eldest, Sienna with her little hands over the scan photo. Another clip in her reel showed her posing in a mirror, her growing bump on show. Proud mum Sonia wrote: "All of my dreams have come true, half way there and we can't wait to meet you our beautiful baby boy." Her post was met with hundreds of comments from well-wishers. Sonia had her baby shower less than a month ago, where her friends and family joined her to celebrate the imminent arrival of her second child. She posted a reel on Instagram from the event, where she could be seen doing a happy dance, posing with members of her family and showing off her baby-blue themed decor. At the time, Sonia wrote: "The most perfect afternoon spent with the most beautiful people showering my little Prince. Thank you so much to the kindest, most thoughtful beautiful besties I could wish for organising my baby shower we love you." Devoted soap fans will remember actress Sonia Ibrahim's role as villainous Mel Maguire in Corrie. She called the cobbles home between December 2016 and October 2017. Mel became embroiled in Bethany Platt's (played by Lucy Fallon) harrowing grooming narrative, helping villain Nathan Curtis (portrayed by Chris Harper). Mel's final storyline involved a tense kidnapping attempt on Bethany, aimed at preventing her court testimony against Nathan which, thankfully, ended with Bethany's release. Sonia has in the past expressed how proud she was to be part of the iconic soap. She told Lancs Live: "I was literally over the moon and I cried my eyes out when my agent told me [I was joining]! "It's such an amazing place to work and it's been an honour to be here. I was really excited to meet everybody, because I'm a fan of Coronation Street and I watch the show anyway." Since leaving the cobbles, Sonia took a part in BBC's Waterloo Road as Jamilah Omar. Most recently, she joined the Hollyoaks cast as the enigmatic Kat, linked to resident Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey). Her first appearance in the Channel 4 drama aired in November. Her first episode saw her join Ethaniel Davy, who stepped into Jacob's shoes.

Sonia told us at the time: "She knows what all these men are capable of and she's petrified of them all but she's in love with Nathan. "He groomed her from the start; in his eyes, he knew what she wanted from Mel.
