Coronation Street: How old are Gemma and Chesney’s quads?

Gemma discovered she was pregnant in April 2019.

However, as she started to feel very ill, she went to the hospital.

A scan confirmed that she was pregnant with quadruplets leaving both Gemma and her boyfriend Chesney in shock.

Gemma continued with the pregnancy and in October she went into early labour whilst on a trip in Wales.

She first went into labour in a cable cart and ended up giving birth to her first baby, while she was in the air.

Gemma named her first baby, a son, Aled after one of the paramedics who helped her while she was in labour.

His name was also chosen as a reference to singer Aled Jones who performed the song Walking in the Air.

The rest of the babies were born in a hospital in Llandudno.

Gemma and Chesney decided to name all of their children after the paramedics and nurses that helped them with the birth.

The quads – two boys and two girls – are now three years old.
