Coronation Street star Jennie McAlpine has hinted at a difficult few months ahead for Fiz Stape – even suggesting that the police may get involved.

Fiz is set to have a dramatic festive period, what with Tyrone Dobbs trying to rekindle their romance on Christmas Day, but that's not all the fan-favourite has to contend with.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other media as Weatherfield gears up to celebrate Christmas, Jennie said she wanted to remind fans that Fiz's daughter Hope is still a cause for concern for the family.

"I think remember we've got Hope bubbling, simmering under the surface," the Corrie star teased, before hinting that Fiz's new love interest Phill Whittaker is in for a challenge.

"I don't know why Phill's offering to be stepdad to these kids, they're absolutely a bloody nightmare!" she added.

Revealing that the police may be called to the cobbles over Hope's behaviour once again, Jennie said: "I'm pretty sure I've filmed scenes where Fiz is back in the police car in the past month, I'm sure I have..."

As well as a potential run-in with the police, Jennie offered her thoughts on Fiz's relationship status, as Tyrone tries his best to get back together with his ex.

"I totally understand that her world was blown apart. She had no significant other and nobody to help practically with the girls," Jennie continued.

"When Phill came along, she thought 'Let's do it,' because she didn't want to be on her own. I totally understand why people do that."

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7.30pm on ITV.
