It seemed that things could not get much worse for poor Toyah Battersby in Coronation Street earlier this week, when she collapsed with severe stomach pains on Wednesday 3 July’s episode and was rushed to hospital with worried sister Leanne and Leanne’s partner Nick Tilsley by her side.
The doctor shocked Toyah by telling her she was pregnant, and since the only man she has slept with recently is Nick, the baby must be his.
Despite the hurt it would cause Leanne if she ever found out, Toyah – who has faced years of struggles trying to conceive – decided that she wanted to keep the baby.
However, in the latest episode on Friday 5 July, Toyah was dealt another blow as her doctor dropped another bombshell, revealing that she was not pregnant after all, and may have ovarian cancer which can give a false positive pregnancy result.
