A pair of Coronation Street siblings look unrecognisable a whopping 17 years on from leaving the ITV soap. 

Long-standing character Bethany Platt first appeared on the cobbles back in 2000 and is the daughter of Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien).

She was originally played by twin sisters, Emily and Amy Walton, who shared the role for seven years from 2000 to 2007.

The twins were involved in several major plot twists including when Bethany was kidnapped by her paternal grandmother Brenda Fearns (Julia Deakin) in 2004.

While in other dramatic scenes, Bethany took an Ecstasy pill that her uncle had stashed inside of her doll and ended up hospitalised. 

Bethany left, alongside her mother, in 2007 when the pair moved to Italy and the twins no longer had a role on the soap.
