Coronation Street’s Lauren Bolton is forced to open up about her racy hustle next week.
When a downbeat Lauren tells Bobby Crawford (Jack Carroll ) that all the set books she needs to revise for her exam are already out on loan from the library, he hands Evelyn Plummer (Maurren Lipman) the list of texts, hoping she can track some down at the charity shop.
Bobby hands Lauren a small bunch of flowers but when a delivery man enters with a huge posh bouquet, an embarrassed Bobby realises he’s got competition. Lauren thanks Bobby for the flowers, but when her phone rings a gutted Bobby assumes she’s spoken for. Lauren tells the caller to leave her alone.

Lauren reads a final demand from her energy company before making a call and spelling out to the person on the other end that she doesn’t need their money and wants nothing more to do with them.
Bobby’s delighted when Lauren accepts his offer of a date but when Max Turner (Paddy Beaver) and Sabrina Adetiba (Luana Santos) call at Lauren’s flat to find her sexily dressed, Lauren reluctantly reveals that she makes videos for O-Vidz.
Elsewhere in Weatherfield, As Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) plays chess with Roy Cropper (David Neilson) before school, he struggles to make a basic move and Roy’s bemused. Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) tells Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) he’s sorry about the car. Nick assures him it was an accident, but when Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) lets slip that the car repairs were nothing to do with the brakes, Nick’s suspicions grow.
At school, Hope Dobbs (Isabella Flanagan) finds Sam unconscious on the floor and yells for a teacher. Sam’s rushed to hospital, where Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) tells the doctor that Sam was involved in a car accident, forced to admit to Nick that the brakes weren’t at fault, she lied to protect Simon as he’d been drinking and was over the limit when he crashed. Nick reels. Awash with guilt Simon decides to take responsibility.
Later in the week, Leanne rails at Nick for throwing Simon out and always putting his own son first. When she finds him huddled on a bench in Victoria Garden, Leanne’s horrified to realise he’s been there all night. Simon pours his heart out, telling her that Nick’s right, he’s a waste of space, he drinks too much and is turning into his Dad. How will Leanne react?
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV1 and ITVX at 8pm
