ITV Coronation Street's Lauren Bolton's racy money making scheme exposed

Coronation Street's Lauren Bolton (played by Cait Fitton) is forced to come clean about her money-making secret when she is almost caught in the act by Max Turner (Paddy Bever) and Sabrina Adetiba (Luana Santos). The troubled teen has been struggling financially and spoilers released by ITV for next week's episodes show that the pressure on her shows no sign of easing up.

She receives a final demand from an energy company and is torn as to how she will pay it. In recent months she has been claiming to have a generous rich boyfriend who showers her with expensive presents but she remained quiet about who he actually was.

It appears that she won't be turning to him for help though. Although she is broke she makes a mysterious call to someone and tells them that she doesn’t need their money and wants nothing more to do with them.

Despite her financial woes, she finally gives in to Bobby Crawford's (Jack Carroll) request for her to go on a date. Having pursued her for weeks he is delighted that she has said she will go out with him.

However, when Max and Sabrina unexpectedly call at her flat they get a shock when they find her sexily dressed. Put on the spot she is forced to admit that she has been making videos for O-Vidz.

This isn't the first time that Lauren has been caught working for the OnlyFans-style website.

Last October, Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) discovered that she had been posting content on the site, which he too had previously used to make money.

At the time the pair were flatmates and he stumbled upon her secret.

In an attempt to stop her, he pointed out that that she was underage and threatened to report her.

However, she claimed that she had been inspired to do it because he had claimed he was earning so much money on the site.

Indeed, instead of deterring her, the confrontation led her to threaten to tell Daniel (Rob Mallard) that Ryan had slept with his then-fiancee Daisy Midgely (Charlotte Jordan).
