CATHERINE Tyldesley’s son Alfie celebrated his sixth birthday with a huge cake, balloons and a go-kart.
The Corrie star, 37, and her husband Tom Pitfield put on a great birthday for their son, who woke up to a huge pile of presents.
In a video shared to Catherine’s Instagram, Tom covered Alfie’s eyes as they walked into the living room.
After counting down from three, little Alfie ran over to his presents – which included an orange go-kart.
As well as the kart, there was a huge display of balloons, with Luigi and other Mario characters.
There was also a huge six sitting on a pile of balloons.
He also had a cake with builder characters on the front and his name in icing.
Catherine wrote in tribute to her son: “Happy Birthday Alfie James!! Our funny little dude has had the BEST day!!
“Thankyou for all messages, pressies, cards, thoughts, DMs! We’re feeling very blessed and grateful to have this incredible little gent in our lives. Here’s to a bloody big party next year!!”
Yesterday, she spoke about his birth, opening up about her “38 hour labour” six years ago.
Sharing a collection of images – including Catherine heavily pregnant and her and Tom cuddling with their newborn – the Corrie star wrote: “REFLECTING: This time 6 years ago things were about to get very intense!!! I can’t believe my boy Alf will be SIX tomorrow!!! Where does time go?!
“From the moment I knew I was carrying you I loved you more than anything in the world. I’d happily go through that 38 hour labour twice over for you my love!!
“I remember the first time you looked at me – blowing bubbles, eyes wide open – I’ve never known love like it.
“I’m aware how blessed I am every single day, blessed that my body could carry you, blessed by the amazing NHS midwives that brought you safely into this world, blessed by all the friends and family that held my hand when I couldn’t stop crying and felt lost.
“Becoming a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me and I am proud beyond words of the kind, funny, clever little man you’ve become. Don’t ever change Alfie James!!! More emotional birthday spam pending… 
”
In December, Catherine opened up about her possible plans to adopt a second child with husband Tom Pitfield.
