Shouldn't this be post-watershed? Helen Flanagan dons a skintight basque for Coronation Street's raunchiest scenes yet

Steamy: Helen Flanagan in the upcoming steamy scenes, right, and in an episode last year where she had to don yet another basque


Her character in Coronation Street is notoriously racy and offscreen she tends to dress to impress.

But Helen Flanagan's next affair as Rosie Webster in the ITV1 soap is set be her steamiest yet.

Dressed is nothing but a low-cut white basque and briefs, the trouble-making daughter of Sally and Kevin enjoys a steamy romp with Jason Grimshaw after the pair pose together on a modelling shoot.

The builder, played by Ryan Thomas, drives Webster to her latest job and when the professional male model doesn't show up, saucy Rosie pleads him to take his place.

Agreeing, Grimshaw strips down to micro-briefs and the combination of being scantily clad and sexual tension results in the two characters returning to the Webster residence and frantically undressing each other.

At one point a lamp is knocked over and smashes into tiny pieces.

But rather than tidy up, Webster says to Grimshaw: 'No please don't stop. Ignore it. It's just a bit of old tat my mum bought on the market.'

A show insider told newspaper The People the upcoming scenes, due to be aired on October 22, will be 'without doubt, the hottest shown by any soap'.

'The crew and cameramen are already bribing each other for places on set when the scenes are filmed,' they said.

Although the actual sex scenes will be kept private, the show is expecting complaints due to the pre-watershed scheduling.

'Everyone knows this episode is going to provoke a wave of complaints,' said the show insider.

'Some people are going too feel that the scenes are far too explicit for a programme shown before the watershed time.'

Despite the expected backlash, soap producers believe the benefits will outweigh the negatives.

The insider said: 'Everyone is talking about the impact it is going to have when the show is screened in a few months - we are expecting it to be explosive.'


'Great character': Flanagan says Rosie's revealing outfits help her play the role


Meanwhile, Helen Flanagan has announced she has no anxieties about stripping off for the upcoming scenes or for similar ones in the past.

She said: 'I love Rosie's tarty outfits - the worse they are the better because they really help me get into character.

'The scene where Rosie stood in the street wearing just a corset and suspenders was fantastic. The corset was from Agent Provocateur and I love their stuff. I didn't feel self-conscious at all.'

She added: 'We all have to learn to love ourselves. I also love Rosie - she is a great character.'
