It comes after her recent return to the Street and the revelation that she will become a stripper following her harrowing ordeal.

A show source told the Sun's Bizarre column: “Bosses wanted to show a different side to Bethany's story. She has been through a lot and this will show an empowered side to her.

"It's her overcoming what she was put through and take back the control over those men who have been awful to her previously.

"She is going to kick off royally and then try and lead a revolt at the strip club until things are sorted."
