Lucy Fallon doesn't want to leave Coronation Street.
The 29-year-old actress joined the soap as Bethany Platt in 2015 and departed Wetherfield in 2020 to pursue other projects, including reality series Don't Rock The Boat and drama Tom Jones, but returned in 2023 and now she sees no reason to go elsewhere because she is so "comfortable" on the ITV soap.
She told Fabulous magazine: “I don’t plan on leaving Corrie to do other things. In the past, I wanted to try maybe a drama – and I did that in the time that I was away – but [elsewhere] you don’t get the friendships.
“I’ve gone back and it’s so familiar. I feel so comfortable, it’s consistent, I get to drive from home to work and then go back home to my children.”
However, the blonde beauty - who has Sonny, two, and Nancy, nine months, with partner Ryan Ledson - would "love" to take a short break to take part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
She said: “Obviously, Strictly is more complicated because it’s BBC, but I would love to do the jungle.
“I’m happy to stay at Corrie and do these other things like that, just as life experiences.”
Lucy would love to see her character at the centre of a plot involving weight-loss medication.
She said: “Weight-loss jabs would be a really good one, because I know so many people who don’t need to be taking weight-loss jabs that are, and it’s something that [Bethany] would 100% do.
“It’s scary. It [feels like we’re] going back to the Kate Moss vibes.”
But for now, the actress has been happy to have her character in the background and she hasn't filmed for more than two consecutive days at a time since returning from maternity leave.
She said: “It’s quite a nice break. I’ve found it harder – much harder – this time around with two.
“Yesterday and the day before, I was in The Rovers, I didn’t really have anything to say. I was just watching it all unfold. Obviously, if I was given a story line, great! But, equally, if I’m having a nice time with the Platts, that’s perfect.”
