'Coronation Street' to house prostitute

Coronation Street will play host to its first ever prostitute when Leanne Battersby returns to the soap next month.

Actress Jane Danson, who left the soap in July to have a baby, is to reprise her role as Battersby, who will reveal that she turned to the vice trade to make money while holidaying in Spain.

A source told the Mirror: "It’s one of our racier storylines and we believe it will be a ratings winner, sparking much debate.

"Leanne’s always been a feisty and sexy girl who could fall off the rails. She cannot see anything wrong in being an escort girl – if the money’s there she’s up for it.”
