Coronation Street announced the ambitious storyline earlier this year, in a major show first.

After Bethany felt increasingly insecure about her looks and appearance, she jetted off for cheap cosmetic surgery.

Unfortunately, things didn't go quite to plan - and the character  learn the hard way about the consequences of botched operations.

Speaking previously about the storyline, actress Lucy Fallon said: "Obviously this is really hard-hitting, which is exciting from an actor’s point of view, but it does come with quite a lot of pressure and responsibility to get it right because this happens to real life people.

"The storyline is also incredibly important as there’s countless horror stories out there of people talking about their experiences of cosmetic surgery abroad.

"So, I really hope this storyline can make people rethink going abroad for cosmetic surgery."

Most complained about soap storylines

Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous...

EastEnders baby theft: 13,400 Ofcom complaints - Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap’s long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners - with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it “distressing” and “horrific” but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not "unduly disturbing”.

Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints - Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom - but viewers didn’t like it one bit. The nation’s pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don’t mess with animal-lovers.

Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints - Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford - and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the “violent scenes”.

In another challenging experience, Bethany came face to face with Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper) a few months ago.

Nathan groomed and manipulated Bethany in 2017, selling her around to his friends for sex - before ultimately being jailed.
