Yves, who was born weighing 8lb 9oz, is Longchambon's first child, but Ghadie also has a five-year-old daughter Freya, from her previous marriage.

Ghadie tweeted to share her joy.

The proud dad then also took to Twitter to share the news.

The couple, who first met on Dancing On Ice, told OK! magazine that they chose their son's first name as a tribute to Longchambon's brother and his middle name came from Ghadie's late father.

They have had the names picked out ever since learning they were going to have a boy during a scan.

At the time Ghadie said: "At the scan they told us the baby had its legs crossed, so we thought we wouldn't be able to find out.

"We were a little disappointed. Halfway through they told me to go and have some chocolate or a fizzy drink to try and get the baby to move.

"At the end of the scan they got me to move around and the baby moved again. It was quite obvious we were expecting a boy."

Congratulations Samia, Sylvain and Freya!

'Coronation Street' Continuity Errors
Tim Metcalfe Can't Read?(01 of06)
Open Image Modal
When Tim Metcalfe, the biological father of Faye Windass, came on the scene, his new partner, Sally Webster, was shocked to learn later down the line that he couldn’t read. Not as shocked ss some viewers, though, who remembered that Tim first got in contact with Faye over the Internet and via text message, two tools which reading is pretty much fundamental for.This wasn’t the first time Tim stuck out to viewers for the wrong reasons, though, as some fans of the soap noticed that actor Joe Duttine, who plays Tim, had appeared on ‘Corrie’ just three years earlier, as detective Max Carr.

Todd Grimshaw's Black Eye(02 of06)

It’s been very difficult to feel anything other than disdain towards Todd Grimshaw ever since he arrived back on the cobbles, but he managed to illicit a bit of sympathy from viewers last November, when his character was attacked by a group of youths in the street.However, the scenes of his attack prompted a negative reaction from some observant ‘Corrie’ fans, who noticed that producers couldn’t seem to make their minds up whether it was Todd’s left or right eye that had been damaged in the fracas.

Mike Baldwin's Secret Nephew(03 of06)

When ‘Corrie’ icon Mike Baldwin first arrived in the soap, it was established that he was an only child, so you can imagine viewers’ surprise when suddenly his nephew, Danny Baldwin, came on the scene.Still, it did give us more Bradley Walsh on our screens, which is never a bad thing. (credit:ITV)
Bethany Platt's Accent(04 of06)

Bethany Platt’s return to Weatherfield was much anticipated, not least because of the controversy surrounding her casting, which saw one actress sacked for lying about her age to gain the role.But the question on a lot of viewers’ lips was, if she’d spent practically her entire childhood in Milan, why did she speak with a broad Manchester accent?

Ivy Tilsley's Forgotten Husband(05 of06)
Open Image Modal
Continuity errors aren’t a new phenomenon on the cobbles, though, and back in the 1970s, the show’s ever-growing audience were shocked when Ivy Tilsley’s first husband, Jack, was completely erased from history.In 1979, Ivy’s husband Bert Tilsley was introduced, who viewers were told she’d been married to for over 20 years… yet in 1972, she’d been seen on screen talking about her husband, Jack, who had been unfaithful to her.

The Rovers Return Loos(06 of06)
Open Image Modal
Arguably the biggest continuity error of all the soaps is the toilets in the Rovers Return. There’s a reason they’re seldom-used or seen on screen, and that’s because, based on the geography of the street, the positioning of the toilet doors would lead directly into Ken Barlow’s kitchen.And that's why Ken prefers it when people try and hold it in...
