ITV Coronation Street confirms what’s wrong with Toyah Battersby after pregnancy twist
Coronation Street revealed this evening that Toyah Battersby wasn't actually pregnant and instead could have cancer after she believed she was expecting Nick's baby
Coronation Street aired a heartbreaking twist for Toyah Battersby tonight.
Toyah was rushed to hospital after experiencing stomach pains and they were convinced she was pregnant. Having not slept with anyone else other than Nick, she was convinced he must be the father of the baby.
Whilst she insisted she wanted to have the baby, Nick was completely supportive of her decision but they kept their affair a secret from Leanne. However, tonight, Toyah was dealt some terrifying news that she could have cancer.
In tonight’s episode, the doctor came to visit her. He said: “It’s not the news I’d like to be delivering. I’ve taken a good look at your scans, we found a growth on one of your ovaries. Some tumours can give a false positive on a pregnancy test, hence the misunderstanding here. We’ve checked your bloods and they show elevated levels of a protein called CA125.
“Sometimes that can indicate ovarian cancer. Not always. We’re going to move quickly. We’ll do a biopsy and a CT scan to give us a clearer idea. This afternoon, one of my colleagues will do the biopsy and we’ll bring you back in for the CT scan.”
He later added: “My secretary will give you a letter, it will all be explained. It can be hard to take in the detail when you’re hit out of the blue like this. Do yourself a favour Toyah, don’t go online. People google and go down a rabbit hole and then they find the prognosis isn’t as bleak as they feared. Trust us to do our job.”
Toyah was understandably devastated by the news, telling him: “I’ll try. What choice have I got?”
It comes after actor Emrhys Cooper – who plays Rowan – has teased things get worse for Toyah with The Institute. He said: “She is getting on his nerves. From the ‘upload’ Leanne’s done he’s got a lot of very personal information, and potentially illegal behaviour. He has got a lot in his arsenal, it could get darker. She should watch her back. He’s pretty experienced with manipulation and blackmail, he enjoys it. It is a game to him, I don’t think he’s scared at this point of Toyah. It is just frustrating but he’s game for it.”
