Corrie newcomer 'to be attacked by yobs'

Audrey Roberts's latest Coronation Street love interest Marc Selby will be attacked by a group of thugs in a forthcoming storyline, reports have claimed.

The show newcomer - who will soon be revealed as a secret cross dresser - has to be rescued by police when he gets beaten up, according to the Daily Star.

It is thought that Audrey (Sue Nicholls) is later called to the police station to collect Marc (Andrew Hall), still unaware of his fetish for female clothing.

However, when she comes face-to-face with Marc at the station, she sees that he is dressed as his alter ego 'Marcia' and discovers his secret.

Marc will be at the centre of a love triangle plot in the coming weeks as Audrey and Claudia Colby (Rula Lenska) battle for his affections.
