Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon said “my jaw was on the floor” when she discovered her character had fallen pregnant by her mother’s ex-boyfriend, adding: “It’s not going to end well.”
The 30-year-old actress has starred in the ITV soap on-off since 2015, and her character Bethany Platt has been at the centre of dramatic storylines revolving around issues such as grooming, bullying and her mental health.
