New love twist ahead for Corrie's Janice

Janice Battersby will head off into the sunset with ex-housemate Trevor Dean in her Coronation Street exit storyline, reports have claimed.

According to the Daily Star, Janice's Weatherfield departure comes after binman Trevor (Steve Jackson) returns to the area and invites her to go travelling with him.

Trevor reportedly tells her: "I'm leaving for good, Janice, and I'm going to travel to everywhere. I've always wanted to and I'd like you to come with me if you fancy it."

It is thought that Janice - played by Vicky Entwistle - is thrilled to finally find love again and wastes little time before packing her bags, leaving the cobbles behind.

The romantic moment is expected to come at a perfect time for Janice as she has a fight with colleague Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh) before losing her job at Underworld when Carla Connor (Alison King) overhears her encouraging the factory workers to go on strike.

Before leaving Weatherfield, Janice apparently tells stepdaughter Leanne: "You're the only thing I will miss."

Sources say that Janice's final scene - due to air next month - sees her leave with a bang when Trevor drenches everyone on the street by intentionally driving through a puddle as they make their departure.

Entwistle announced her decision to leave Coronation Street last August.
