Jade's evil plan continues in Coronation Street as she frames Fiz for abusing Hope

Viewers now know the nasty nanny is the secret offspring of John Stape, Fiz's murderous ex who died eight years ago.

"Jade will do everything she can to get Hope away from Fiz and Tyrone," Henshall warns. "We have seen her using make-up to put the fake bruises on Hope and photographing them – that will be used to cause maximum damage!
