Lucy Fallon's portrayal of Bethany Platt in Coronation Street's harrowing grooming storyline saw the talented soap star walk away with Best Actress at the Inside Soap Awards on Monday night. While chatting to HELLO! Online at the star-studded event, Lucy confirmed her character's return from Milan and revealed that she still has a long road to recovery. "I think Bethany hasn’t recovered, and won't for a while after what's happened to her, so there's going to be a lot of repercussions from that. She is still really sad so not a lot of happiness yet, but hopefully there will be," she said.

Last week, Lucy was spotted on the Coronation Street set with co-star Colson Smith, who plays Craig Tinker in the ITV soap. When quizzed about Bethany's romance with Craig, Lucy teased: "Who knows, who can say?"

Lucy was joined at the awards by Corrie co-stars, including on-scren mum Tina O'Brien - who plays Sarah Platt in the soap, and Shona Ramsey actress Julia Goulding. Looking stylish in a red trouser suit teamed with a black crop top and stilettos, the actress revealed just how much winning the award meant to her. "I've never won anything in my life so it's really weird. I've only been on the show for three years so it's amazing," she said.
