Coronation Street viewers have been left stunned upon discovering that a soap legend is married to their co-star in real life.

Last year, Leanne was deceived by a cult, The Institute,and its leader Rowan (Emrhys Cooper), and was heartbroken when she discovered that her sister Toyah (Georgia Taylor) and former fiancé Nick (Ben Price) were in a relationship.Since then, Leanne's life has spiralled out of control, leading her to attempt to frame Toyah and herself for fraud.

She has also been battling loneliness and will soon become a prime suspect in the Platt house fire.Off-screen, however, actress Jane is happily married to fellow soap star Robert Beck, who has appeared in shows including Brookside, Emmerdale, Waterloo Road, and even Coronation Street in 2008, where he played criminal Jimmy Dockerson.
