Last night on Coronation Street (Wednesday, April 10), Lauren’s mum – ‘Kerry’ – turned up at café wanting to speak to Roy.

She’d wanted to find out more information about how Lauren seemed days before her disappearance.

Corrie fans now fear that ‘Kerry’ may not actually be Lauren’s mum but may actually be an undercover journalist.

Coronation Street: ‘Kerry’ turned up to see Roy

Roy has been trying to reach out to Lauren’s mum ever since Bernie found her contact details posted online.

Nina kept telling Shona to answer the phone, despite the abusive phone calls received from trolls, in case that ‘Kerry’ got in touch.

Failing to phone Roy, ‘Kerry’ then turned up in person at the café and asked to speak to the owner.

She told Roy that she wanted to just speak to someone who knew Lauren as the police wouldn’t tell her anything.

She’d lost touch with her daughter, turning up at Roy’s as she believed him to be innocent.

After realising that ‘Kerry’ had nowhere to stay for the night, Roy offered his flat to her.

However, viewers then saw ‘Kerry’ take a mysterious phone call whilst being in possession of some pepper spray.

Coronation Street fans ‘rumble’ ‘Kerry’ true identity

Corrie fans reckon that ‘Kerry’ isn’t actually Lauren’s mum after realising that she isn’t actually on Roy’s side at all. After hearing her phone call, fans now think that she’s an undercover journalist trying to get information from Roy.

One fan said: “That woman clearly isn’t Lauren’s mum. Probably a journalist. Strange that Roy faced with so many trolls would be so accommodating so quickly and let her stay.”
