Paula Lane has admitted that life will be tough for her Coronation Street character Kylie Platt as her decision to sell her son Max is revisited in a future storyline.

Kylie's half-sister Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly) bought Max from her at the end of last year, deciding that the shock move was in the youngster's best interests due to Kylie's irresponsible ways.

However, recent reports have suggested that Kylie's husband David (Jack P. Shepherd) will soon discover the truth, which apparently leads to social services being informed of the situation.

Speaking on This Morning about how her character will feel when David discovers her secret, Lane commented: "It's a really big thing for Kylie, because she's just started this marriage, she's very happy, she's got this new nail bar in the salon with all these fabulous colours - she's a businesswoman.

"[But now] it's going to be really tricky for her. There's just this massive ordeal that's going to take place."

She continued: "Kylie's not proud of what happened, and I think you'll see that coming through over the course of the next six months."

Lane added that she is keen to see Kylie at the centre of drama on the cobbles for a long time to come.

"I'm determined to keep her raw and gritty for as long as possible," she said. "I don't want her to dilute into this easygoing [person] - I want her to keep shocking, keep being unpredictable and allow the viewers to carry on enjoying watching her, really."
