ITV Coronation Street Bethany Platt's soap future 'confirmed' as actress Lucy flaunts makeover
Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon, famed for her role as Bethany Platt, has flaunted a gorgeous hair transformation. In an exciting update for fans, her future on the Cobbles has also been confirmed.
The actress has been taking a break from the ITV soap as she's currently on maternity leave. Lucy, 29, welcomed her second child back in January with footballer boyfriend Ryan Ledson.
The couple were overjoyed to share the arrival of their daughter Nancy, with their new bundle of joy coming after they welcomed their son, Sonny, back in 2023.
The new mum-of-two has since shared a number of sweet updates on social media as she basks in her baby bubble as well as enjoying her time away from the Street.
In delightful news to fans, it has been confirmed she will be back, reports the Manchester Evening News. When it was revealed Lucy has signed with the talent agency Off Limits, there were reports she had decided to quit the soap altogether.
However, a Coronation Street spokesperson has since confirmed to the Metro that "Lucy will be returning to filming in the summer after maternity leave, as always planned", and that "Bethany will be back on screen in October".
Meanwhile, Lucy is making the most of her maternity leave with her two little ones and has been sharing what else she's been up to while she's not playing her Weatherfield alter-ego.
In one of her latest posts, the Blackpool-born star shared a picture of her gorgeous hair transformation as she headed to the salon amid the current spring heatwave.
Her hairdresser, Megan Whittaker, also shared a number of snaps in which Lucy posed to showcase her new do. Captioning the post, she revealed Lucy's hair secret by saying: "Beauty Works X Molly Mae. New summer shades 'Glacier Blonde' 18inch slimline tapes Colour @lorealpro #studio9 & #dialight 10.12 & 9.01."
And the compliments quickly came flooding in as one fan said: "Unreal colour." Another commented: "Obsessing over this colour & blend wow." Someone else wrote: "Gorgeous." @xjeankellyx added: "Stunning."
It comes after Lucy was seen showing her support for her footballer partner as he made a huge decision on his playing career. She took to social media earlier this month to reshare his news.
The Preston North End midfielder confirmed that he is set to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of June. The 27-year-old joined the Championship side from Oxford in May 2018 and scored seven goals in 215 games. "I've had the best seven years that I could have asked for.
"This club means so much to me," he told the club website. "I'm glad my last game for the club went as well as it did and I could have that moment with the fans at the end."
Alongside the post Lucy reshared with her own following, Ryan said: "Thank you for everything @pnefcofficial To all the staff, fans and the lads, I wish all of you nothing but the best for the future. Up the Lilywhites."
The soap star then went on to share a video of Ryan playing in the garden with their two-year-old son, giving a sweet glimpse into their happy family life together.

Torvill and Dean ‘bow out on a high' skating to Bolero in final performance
The duo, who wrote their names into British sporting history at the 1984 Winter Games, announced their retirement from skating together in 2024, 40 years on from their Olympic gold success. Yesterday's final performance of Bolero at @nottinghamarena will forever be in our hearts 💜 #OurLastDance — Jayne and Chris (@torvillanddean) July 13, 2025 In April they embarked on the UK leg of their farewell tour, Torvill And Dean: Our Last Dance, which culminated with four performances in their home town of Nottingham. Following their final performance together, Dean, 66, said: 'The performance went well and the audience were amazing and so, for us, to be able to bow out on a high like that was wonderful.' Asked if it had been emotional, Dean said: 'These last four performances here in Nottingham, the early ones were quite emotional and I think I sort of got that out of me, and tonight, it was a high. 'We enjoyed it so much. The skating was good from our point of view, but the audience were phenomenal. They were the best audience ever.' Torvill, 67, said: 'I think we'll miss it. 'When you've done all these shows like this, and you're suddenly home, not doing anything, you miss that adrenaline rush and you miss the excitement of being on the ice, whether it's a practice session or a performance.' Torvill promised they would be working on other projects but said they will not be skating on the ice together. The duo secured an Olympic gold in 1984 with their ice dance to Ravel's Bolero at the Zetra Olympic Hall in Sarajevo. They also had success at the World, European and British Championships and returned to the Winter Games at Lillehammer in Norway in 1994 where they won bronze. After they bowed out from competitive skating they branched out into touring, coaching and choreographing before becoming the faces of celebrity competition show Dancing On Ice, which ran from 2006 until 2014. When the show was revived in 2018 they became head judges until earlier this year when ITV announced it would be rested. Their farewell tour of London, Belfast, Sheffield, Birmingham, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow included a team of professional figure skaters, some of whom have featured on Dancing On Ice.
