Coronation Street’s Ken Barlow is set too get caught in a love triangle as his ex mistress Martha Fraser returns

Martha, played by Stephanie Beacham, 75, will be seen giving love rival Wendy Papadopoulos a run for her money.

Wendy, played by Roberta Kerr, also came back into Ken’s life earlier this year.

An insider said: “How Ken will react when Martha returns remains to be seen but it’s certainly going to be quite the shock.

“Martha will be in town to help his am-dram society, The Weatherfield Players, in their next production and he will be totally flustered.

“Details for the storyline are being kept tightly under wraps but Ken is going to be caught in the middle of a very flirtatious love triangle.”

Stephanie is also known for her 1980s roles in BBC drama Tenko and US soaps The Colbys and Dynasty.

Martha first appeared on the soap in 2009.

She started an affair with Ken, played by Bill Roache, 90, and asked him to leave town with her.

But he left her heartbroken when he decided to go back to Deirdre instead.

Previously Wendy also had a fling with Ken in 1989, which led to him and ­Deirdre getting divorced.
