Coronation Street: Leanne Battersby to have a painful pregnancy scare
LEANNE BATTERSBY'S pregnancy is causing a lot of trouble and it's about to get a lot worse as she suffers severe stomach pains in upcoming scenes.
Leanne recently discovered she was pregnant after a one-night stand with a mystery Weatherfield resident.
And while she is set on raising the baby on her own, it looks like she will certainly need some help along the way.
When Leanne suffers severe stomach pains while in the street with her step-son Simon, Michelle rushes over to help and asks if she is okay.
Wanting to keep her pregnancy a secret, she insists she is fine but as the pain intensifies Simon lets slip that she is expecting.
He asks: "What's wrong? Is it the baby?"
Leanne assures a shocked Michelle it's "early days" and she's sure it's nothing but the barmaid insists she goes to the hospital for a check up.
Jane Danson, who plays Leanne, previously said that she wants to have the chance to be a good mum.
She told Radio Times: "She's already got Simon even though he's not her biological son and she makes the point that she won't love him any less than this child.
"She has had a difficult upbringing herself and I think where her parents failed, she wants to try and give back to Simon and her own child."
Coronation Street continues tonight on ITV at 8.30pm.
