Coronation Street viewers are convinced they have worked out the real identity of Maria Windass' troll.
The character, played by Samia Longchambon, has embarked on a political career and put green issues at the top of her agenda. The environmentally friendly action has led to unintended consequences as the extra workload sparked bin workers to go on strike in the long-running soap.
Maria delivered a passionate speech on recycling to get the workers on side, but this backfired when a troll edited her words to a rap tune in a video posted online. The abuse worsened when the troll made a deep fake video to make it appear as though she had appeared in a pornographic film.
