Deirdre Barlow set for steamy affair

‘Coronation Street’s Deirdre Barlow is set to embark on a steamy affair with male escort Lewis Archer.

The three-times married chain-smoker – played by Anne Kirkbride – will cheat on husband Ken (Bill Roache) but her fling doesn’t stay a secret for long after her passionate embrace with Lewis (Nigel Havers) is caught on the security cameras at stepson Peter’s (Chris Gascoyne) betting shop.
