Chesney & Katy

Coronation Street's Katy Armstrong will offer to become a surrogate mother for her disabled sister Izzy in an upcoming storyline, a report has claimed.

The teenage mum-of-one makes the suggestion later this year, sparking disapproval from her strict father Owen, according to The Sun.

Coronation Street cast and crew have been spotted filming scenes on location which apparently show Owen (Ian Puleston-Davies) attacking Izzy's boyfriend Gary (Mikey North) after hearing about the idea.

It is currently unknown whether Katy (Georgia May Foote) and Izzy (Cherylee Houston) will go ahead with the plan, or if Owen's disapproval will deter them.

The plot rumours are also likely to spark speculation about a possible sad outcome to Izzy's current pregnancy story. Tonight's episode sees the feisty factory worker begin to share the news that she is expecting a baby.

Katy and boyfriend Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) are already parents to a young son named Joseph, who was born last Christmas.

Snaps of the ITV1 soap's cast on location show Gary's mum Anna (Debbie Rush) stepping in to separate them as they clash, while disabled Izzy (Cherylee Houston) can only look on in horror.

Owen (Ian Puleston Davies) is at the church for the christening of youngest daughter Katy (Georgia May Foote) and Chesney Brown's son, who was born of Christmas Day.

And Chesney (Sam Aston) doesn't seem too happy that the day descends into chaos as he is seen walking off glumly with Joseph.

I take it that Izzy suffers a miscarrige soon if her sister offers to be a surrogate mother.

Foote admitted that she hated the fake baby bump she was given when her character Katy was pregnant, telling The Sun: "I'm dreading it - I hated my baby bump last time. The pins stick in your sides and it's so heavy."

Alluding to recent speculation that Katy will become pregnant again, she added: "I never thought for a minute I'd be wearing it again so soon."

Foote also explained that her character's boyfriend Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) will not be happy with the surrogacy idea, explaining that "he is upset she didn't talk to him about it first".

She added that Katy "just wants to help" Izzy after she lost the child she was expecting with Gary, but hasn't "thought through the implications" of surrogacy.

Coronation Street's Sam Aston has suggested that Chesney will face a "struggle" to cope with Katy's upcoming pregnancy plan.

Young dad Chesney's girlfriend Katy Armstrong this Thursday (August 16) offers to be a surrogate to disabled sister Izzy, who lost her baby with Gary Windass last month.

Speaking to ITV.com, the actor teased of the potentially long-running plot: "I think he may struggle with the birth as it would bring back memories of baby Joseph.

"This may lead to problems with giving the baby to Izzy and Gary, as Katy and Chesney may grow attached."

The Weatherfield favourite revealed that his alter ego initially "starts warming to the idea".

Georgia May Foote, who plays Katy, recently told Digital Spy that she doesn't believe her character hasn't "thought it through as much as she could have done".

Details of the storyline first emerged early last month.

What a daft story. I'm not surprised Chesney isn't keen. I wonder how they'll do it? With a turkey baster again!

I don't think it's too daft, a sister is probably ideal for a surrogate and Katy already knows she's ok carrying a baby, she knows what she's going to have to go through. Maybe they implant via IVF? Can you get that on the NHS, I know you can get IVF but what about for surrogacy? I would just say they're rushing things a bit, but that is the nature of soaps.

Coronation Street character Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) will reportedly be involved in a dramatic baby storyline.

The barmaid will step in to act as a surrogate mother to Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston), according to the Daily Star.

Disabled Izzy has already turned to sister Katy (Georgia May Foote) to help fulfil her dreams of becoming a mother.

However, Izzy and Katy's dad Owen (Ian Puleston-Davies) later forbids his daughters' plans outright.

He then offers a struggling Tina cash in exchange for being a surrogate mother to Izzy's child. Tina's boyfriend Tommy Duckworth (Chris Fountain) is shocked after she tells him of her plans.


Tommy reportedly tells her: "I can't do this for nine months. All I just want is it to be me and you."

Tina replies: "You know that they need us as much as we need them.

"If you want to wipe the slate clean and have the kind of life we want to have, then this has to work. We've got to go to that clinic and keep everything crossed that this works."

A show source added: "It's a massive deal for everyone involved."
