Coronation Street’s Betsy Swain has finally revealed the huge secret she’s been keeping.

Coronation Street’s young character Betsy Swain, played by Sydney Martin, has finally revealed the massive secret she’s been harbouring.

Betsy, who made her first appearance on the cobbles earlier this year as the daughter of DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers), got entangled with the sinister solicitor Joel Deering (Calum Lill).

Joel had previously groomed and abused Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) before attempting to murder their baby, Frankie.

However, this week it was unveiled that Betsy was significantly involved in Joel’s wicked plots. In Wednesday’s episode (September 18), Betsy made a disturbing confession to her friend Sabrina (Luana Santos).

She discussed Lauren’s baby Frankie, who was born prematurely after Joel drugged Lauren during her pregnancy. Medical professionals now suspect his poor health may be connected to the pills Joel administered.

Later in the same episode, Betsy visited Lauren and Frankie in the hospital, leaving Lauren puzzled about her identity. Betsy apologised to Lauren without providing any context, which left her unsettled as she hastily departed, reports the Liverpool Echo.

In Friday’s episode (September 20), Betsy finally confessed everything. After admitting to Carla Connor (Alison King), she then disclosed everything to her mother Lisa.

A tearful Betsy confessed that Joel had coerced her into buying the drugs he used in his attempt to kill baby Frankie.

She disclosed that he had given her money to call a private health clinic to obtain the tablets and feign pregnancy with the intention of having an abortion. Luckily, Betsy’s admission allowed the police to charge Joel with attempted murder.

This was later confirmed in the episode when Swain played Joel a recording of him and Betsy ordering the drugs. Fans who had predicted Betsy’s secret earlier in the week were likely not surprised by this revelation.

On a Corrie Facebook page, one viewer speculated: “Bet she purchased them on Joel’s behalf.” Another chimed in: “I think Joel got her to order them for him.” A third wrote at the time: “I think it’s going to come out that Joel got Betsy to order the pills.”

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
