Josh Lyons was the baby son of teenage mother Jenny Lyons who met Sarah Louise Platt when they both attended their first ante-natal class in May 2000. Although both nervous, Sarah and Jenny became friends and Jenny revealed that like Sarah she was a teenage mum and her pregnancy was something of a mistake with someone who had left the scene. In November 2000 Jenny was visiting Sarah at No. 8 with Josh when Candice Stowe ran in, humiliated when she was going out with Vikram Desai and he'd found out she was only fourteen years old.
