‘Here we go again…Baby Aston #4’, the text reads on the video, before a Christmas tree emoji.
Sam and Briony have been inundated with support and lovely messages from their friends and followers after announcing the news.
Sally Carman-Duttine, who plays Abi Webster in Corrie, said: ‘I was literally thinking about you yesterday and whether you’d have any more! Congratulations to you all!!!!! x’.
Lauren wrote: ‘Awwwww how exciting. Congratulations!!!’.

Sam and Briony share their life updates frequently on social media and revealed that before the birth of their third child, they experienced two devastating miscarriages in 2023.
Speaking about their previous loss on Loose Women in August of the same year, Briony said that knowing other women who had experienced miscarriages made it easier.
She revealed that it ‘made it easier for me to grieve the process … it would have been so much harder for me to experience that if I hadn’t had other people talk to me before.’
‘It helped me tremendously, knowing I wasn’t alone,’ she said as she opened up about losing two pregnancies within the first trimester.
Sam’s Corrie character Chesney lives a very chaotic family life.
He is father to five children: Joseph Brown (William Flanagan), and quads Carys, Aled, Bryn, and Cleo.
