Coronation Street cast members Harriet Bibby and James Craven have hinted there's more to their characters' surrogacy storyline – and the truth about mystery Mike and Esther.
The couple joined the soap not too long ago and, after learning Billy Mayhew's adopted daughter Summer Spellman was pregnant and wasn't sure she wanted to keep the baby, they took action.
Sharing their struggles with fertility and their desperation to have a child, they paid Summer £10,000 to hand over her offspring when they were born.
