Corrie's Angels? She's notorious for finding herself in the middle of a drama, and it seems Eva Price is making no effort to stay out of trouble as she turns secret agent for the day in Coronation Street scenes

In upcoming scenes, Eva drafts in Billy (Daniel Brocklebank) to spy on Richie O'Driscoll (James Midgley) as she grows suspicious that he and his wife Julia (Malgorzata Klara) are hiding illegal workers in their home.

New to the cobbles, the wealthy couple may have won over some of Weatherfield's residents, but Eva and Billy can't shake the feeling that something is not right about the pair.

Teaming up to prove their theory, they hide in their car as they watch open-mouthed while the O'Driscolls arrive back in their Mercedes 4x4 and grab some files before speeding off into the distance.

Chaos on the Cobbles! Teaming up to prove their theory, the pair hide in their car as they watch open-mouthed while the O'Driscolls arrive back in their Mercedes 4x4

Taking her role as an honorary spy very seriously, Eva even holds her hands together Charlie's Angels style as she prepares to snoop around the mansion.

Opting to wear a pair of figure-hugging leggings and a pair of cosy brown boots, Eva didn't quite dress like a Bond girl but looked inconspicuous nonetheless.

Meanwhile, Vicar Billy also stuck to his usual day wear, donning a grey pea coat over his clerical collar and jeans.

Whilst Eva and Billy put on a humorous display as private detectives, the storyline is set to deal with the far more serious issue of child slavery and homelessness.

In shocking scenes, Eva will find Polish teenager Marta hiding out in Underworld after escaping from the O'Driscoll's home where she had been kept as a slave by the couple.

Speaking to the Manchester Evening News a Coronation Street insider said: 'This is going to be a very difficult subject to tackle, but it has been in the news recently and sadly is not as uncommon as people might think.

'Undoubtedly it will make for some difficult scenes, and perhaps some uncomfortable viewing, but it’s important to highlight the reality of people in these terrible situations.'

Suspect number two: Eva and Billy watch open mouthed as wealthy Julia O'Driscoll (Malgorzata Klara) grabs some files from her mansion before speeding off into the distance in her car
