Her character is currently at the centre of a plot in which Leanne has had Steve McDonald’s baby.
Steve was married to Lee’s mate Michelle Connor at the time and their ill-advised drunken one-night stand resulted in Leanne falling pregnant with baby Oliver.
Michelle had no idea her hubby had fathered the child because they all pretended Nick Tilsley was the father.
Meanwhile, Michelle fell pregnant herself, but tragically lost her baby boy, Ruairi at 23 weeks.
The storyline was made all-the-more poignant given actress Kym Marsh, who plays Michelle, lost her own son, Archie, in similar circumstances.
