Coronation Street has been slammed by fans for ‘recycling’ old plots.
The soap announced this week it will be taking on a modern day slavery storyline when Seb Franklin falls in love with a nail technician from Eastern Europe.
It will emerge how she is being forced to work for evil gangsters who trafficked her into the UK to make them money.
Corrie producer Iain Macleod said he hopes the storyline will raise awareness of the plight of the hidden slaves in the UK, adding: “This is one of the biggest hidden scandals in the UK today.
“Our research has shown us that in many towns and cities across Britain, people are being forced to work against their will, living in extreme poverty and in fear for their safety, all so ruthless criminal gangs can get rich at their expense.
