Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon has shared an update as she told how her daughter had been admitted to hospital this week.

The actress is best known for playing Bethany Platt in the ITV soap, having been recast in the role of Sarah Platt’s daughter, at Gail Platt’s granddaughter, back in 2015.

But away from playing her Weatherfield alter-ego, Lucy is engaged to footballer Ryan Ledson, with whom she shares son Sonny, three, and daughter Nancy, 13 months, shared how it was not her decision to check into the facility.

It was on Wednesday (February 25) evening that Blackpool-born Lucy took to social media and explained the reason she hadn’t been as active on her account as she told her followers that her daughter ended up in the hospital.

Alongside a black and white picture of Nancy playing with toys while waiting for medical treatment, the soap star shared: “Radio silence this week from me as Nancy was admitted to hospital on Monday. She loves a dramatic illness this chick.” She added: “She’s doing much better now.”

It comes after Luc bravely opened up about undergoing treatment for her mental health after she hit ‘rock bottom’ a few years ago. After she left Corrie in March 2020, before returning at the end of 2023, Lucy suffered a mental health crisis that saw her enter a psychiatric hospital for five weeks.

Opening up about her ordeal, Lucy said on the Secure the Insecure podcast with host Johnny Seifert: “From quite young, I’ve always struggled. I’ve always been quite insecure. That got worse when we went through lockdown because I left Corrie and I wasn’t really getting any work.”

She continued: “I was just at the absolute rock bottom that I’ve ever, ever felt. And I really, really, really struggled. I had a really bad batch of mental health towards the end of 2020 and I ended up being in The Priory for about five weeks because my mental health was so bad. I couldn’t see a way out of feeling how I was feeling.”

She later added that meeting her now-fiance Ryan on the celebrity dating app Raya also helped her at the start of her new chapter. “I would say I still, for a while, felt insecure,” Lucy shared. “I felt like I had so much baggage with everything that had happened. It was a conversation I had with him almost straight away.

“I just accepted that, that was a blip in my mental health and in my own journey. I do deserve to be happy and to be in the relationship that I’m in, and I deserve the job that I’ve had. I’ve worked really hard. I don’t know if it was to do with being at The Priory for five weeks. I don’t know if it was that. But things just kind of stayed at a good level for me.”
