Corrie star labels ex 'the one who got away'

The Platt family has been in crisis mode since Bethany underwent a secret liposuction procedure in Turkey.The operation didn’t go to plan and Coronation Street favourite Bethany nearly died after contracting sepsis, leaving her with a permanent stoma.To add to their grief, the Platts have to come up with thousands of pounds as Bethany’s insurance is null and void – and the hospital bills are piling up. “Sarah went into autopilot when it first happened and snapped right into mum mode,” explains Tina O’Brien, who plays concerned mum Sarah. “When she finds out about the insurance, Sarah’s first thought is, ‘What the hell are we going to do?’ She thinks they are going to get arrested and never leave the country.

It’s awful for the whole family and Sarah feels like she’s in a nightmare." “Every day, Sarah sees the money going up and up in the hospital by thousands of pounds," Tina continues. "She knows it’s difficult to even ask people for help because there’s a cost-of-living crisis and people are strapped for cash.

Sarah’s also aware of the judgement that will come with this, because people will see it as Bethany bringing it on herself.” Fans will remember that Sarah had Bethany (played by Lucy Fallon) when she was just 13 years old, and as a result the pair are very close, apart from an argument or two.

So how does Sarah feel about the fact that Bethany’s hospitalisation is the result of cosmetic surgery? “Sarah had no idea it was something that Bethany was considering.They’d never even discussed anything like that, and Bethany and Sarah are so close, so it was completely out of the blue.
