Coronation Street fans were in bits as Toyah Battersby said a tearful goodbye to her foster daughter Elsie. The cute four-year-old was driven away by a social worker after Toyah had her dreams of becoming a mother cruelly dashed.
The soap counsellor was in floods of tears after Elsie was taken away from her to start a new life at a new forever home. She stayed strong for long enough to tell Elsie that she was much-loved by Toyah and her ex Imran Habeeb.
"We have loved having you living with us, me and Imran. And your new mummy and daddy are going to love you just as much as we do," she told Elsie through the car window as the social worker waited to whisk her away. She then told the little girl to be 'brave' and 'be good.'
