Coronation Street star Ryan Prescott has revealed that his character Ryan will become "hooked" on providing content to an adults-only website in the coming weeks.
Over the last few months Ryan has been struggling to come to terms with the physical scarring caused by the acid attack on him and has recently turned to posting faceless pictures on social media to feel more confident.
In next week's episodes, however, he decides to take things further and sets up a profile on a more raunchy website - and before too long, the money starts rolling in.
"You see him have this dialogue with a girl he knows who talks to him about how to keep your followers engaged and keep growing a following and to make more money," Prescott explained.
"You have to go above and beyond these typical fitness shots and start with more sexual images, incentive pictures and the more people that come into that world hooked by those pictures the more broader your audience becomes, and with the broadening of your audience, they ask for different things."
He continued: "They asked for more intimate things and he found that very quickly that he was losing followers and losing subscribers from not doing more. So that kind of pushed him more and more into doing more risky pics and to be honest, within one week of posting incentive pictures, he was having a one-on-one live session.
"They start asking for videos, which was kind of a way outside of his comfort zone. But there's probably a week in between sending pictures and him doing a one on one live, interactive session.
"He is very quickly swallowed up by it and as the money starts coming in he is hooked."
Coronation Street continues Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
