'Coronation Street's Toyah Battersby and Eva Price are set to lock horns next year as they battle it out for their joint sister Leanne Battersby's attention.

The brunette beauty - portrayed by Georgia Taylor - only returned to the cobbles over the festive season but she's already ruffled a few feathers as not only has she struck up a relationship with the bistro owner's (Jane Danson) ex-husband Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne), but she's also planning to rub the busty barmaid (Catherine Tyldesley) up the wrong way by snatching her step-sister away.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, Jane said: "I think just having the three will be two is company and three is a crowd... so potentially someone is going to be left out and Eva is not best pleased with that."

However, there's no doubt there will be an explosive row when Leanne - who is expecting a baby with her husband Nick Tilsey (Ben Price) - finds out her half-sister Toyah has shacked up with her former flame Peter behind her back.

And it's only a matter of time before the businesswoman learns the truth as her step-son Simon (Alex Bain) filmed his dad locking lips with Toyah on his drone.

Leanne grew suspicious on Christmas Day (25.12.16) when her half-sibling rocked up unannounced and said she was splitting from her husband.

She told Leanne: "Now he knows I'm in love with someone else. I've been seeing him for months. It started about six months ago as a holiday fling."

When pushed on a name, Toyah said: "He's down in my phone as Fred."

But Leanne isn't planning to give up without a fight and demanded Toyah give her answers after she ended up in hospital with suspected high blood pressure.
