Corrie’s Lucy Fallon shows off rarely-seen rib tattoo after letting slip ‘huge’ new soap storyline
CORONATION Street star Lucy Fallon has offered a glimpse of her mysterious tattoo just below her ribs.
Wearing a cap pulled down below her eyes, the 28-year-old invited showed off the exotic inking, wearing denim shorts and a bathing suit.
The TV star is an avid fan of body art, with an elaborate tattoo on her thigh and a lightening symbol on her wrist among others.
She then called on fans to share recommendations for swimwear, with summer holidays just around the corner.
She said: “I need some fabby bikini/swimwear recommendations please, especially smaller companies.”
It seems the TV star is in the mood for revelations. This week she told Inside Soap that her character, Bethany Platt, is set to be at the centre of some ‘huge storylines’ in the near future.

She said: "Bethany's involved in the storyline surrounding Lauren's disappearance, but there's another huge plot coming up for her that we haven't started filming. I'm really excited."
The Lauren storyline involves the characters, disappearance from her flat last month. Played by Cait Fitton, she vanished after letting a strange visitor into her apartment.
Now it seems that Bethany’s character may have a pivotal role to play in the investigation.
The riveting plotlines will be a nice welcome home for the actress who only returned to the cobbles in October following a three year absence.
The TV star took time away from the soap for some personal projects and also to give birth to her son, Sonny.
Speaking about the actress’s comeback last year, Corrie boss Iain Macleod seemed pleased that she’s returned to the fold.
He said: "So Bethany’s back and we’re all fantastically excited to have her back, she’s incredibly well liked around the building, the viewers love her.
"She’s a slightly different proposition now from when we last saw her - there’s been a number of years that have elapsed, she’s grown up quite a lot, she’s had the beginnings of a successful journalism career in London and she turns back up and is instantly a foe for Daisy.
"They’re very evenly matched now - Bethany might once have seemed like a younger woman or a girl, she’s very much more a woman now, more on Daisy’s level - so it’s a really heavyweight tussle between these two women, which I’m really looking forward to seeing more of."
Off-screen life is looking equally rosy for Lucy, who recently hinted that her footballer boyfriend, Ryan Ledson who is also the father of her son, had proposed.
She suggested that they’d got engaged while she was filming the ITV reality series Drama Queens last year.
