Bethany Platt is pregnant with her mother's ex-partner on Coronation Street, actress Lucy Fallon has revealed.

Bethany Platt has discovered she is pregnant with her mother's ex-partner's baby on Coronation Street. The father is Detective Constable Kit Green, who was formerly in a relationship with Bethany's mother Sarah Platt. The pregnancy was revealed in Tuesday's episode.

Bethany and Kit had a brief encounter whilst both were in a difficult emotional state. Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany, said of the encounter: 'I don't actually know what she was thinking. I think they both were in quite a bad place at the time.' She described it as 'one of those things that happened' rather than something stemming from genuine feelings between the characters.

Fallon said she was shocked when the producer told her the storyline would lead to pregnancy. 'When our producer was telling me what was happening and then she said that she ends up being pregnant, my jaw was on the floor,' she said. She added that her character feels 'shocked and devastated' about the situation and that it will now force the characters to face consequences rather than 'brush it under the carpet'. Fallon said the pregnancy 'is adding a whole other level of drama'.
