Coronation Street character Fiz Stape will be arrested for murder after helping husband John dispose of a body, it has been reported.

When John discovers that Underworld is to be dug up for drainage work, Fiz - played by Jennie McAlpine - will help him move Colin Fishwick's body and dump it in the canal, according to the News of the World.

She will believe that it's the body of brother Chesney, who John (Graeme Hawley) is holding hostage in cellar. The murderer convinces her otherwise and claims that Colin's death was an accident - but admits to killing Colin's mum Joy.

He then flees with baby daughter Hope. Fiz is knocked down while chasing him and taken to hospital. John visits her disguised as a doctor, but jumps off the hospital roof after Fiz presses her panic alarm.

However, the Sunday Mirror claims that he will not die but instead go on the run. A source said: "We will see him boarding a ferry to Europe. The police will *discover where he is and there will be a manhunt. The bosses love him. Being a fugitive is a great story."

Fiz is arrested and shows police where Colin's body is. She says: "What's going to happen to me now? What's going to happen to my baby?"
