When Steve McDonald goes on holiday to Malta with Eileen Grimshaw, he’s thrilled to meet a lovely lady called Shania.

What Steve doesn’t know is, Shania is actually a man.

The poor taxi driver, whose relationship with Michelle has gradually fizzled out following the death of her brother Paul, thinks he could be in for a spot of fun. But he gets much more than he bargained for…

Antony Berry, who plays Shania, told itv.com about his character.

“Shania was married to a woman in a straight relationship and then wanted to be a transvestite,” the actor explained. “This meant the marriage came to an end.

“She’s gone on holiday so she can be herself, dress how she wants to dress and not worry about what people think.”

So, what happens when Steve and Shania meet in Malta?

“They get drinking in a bar one night and there’s a bit of a spark there, but nothing too explicit,” said Antony. “There’s a lot of flirting and harmless banter.”

Luckily for Steve, Shania reveals the truth before things go too far…

The actor said: “They have a few drinks and do some karaoke. It’s all very light hearted but then Shania tells him that things can’t go any further and she tells him the truth.”

Needless to say, things come to an abrupt end and Steve is keen to put it behind him. But can Eileen really keep the hilarious mistake to herself?

Steve will be totally horrified to realise that he nearly slept with another fella.
