Earlier this week Coronation Street viewers were left confused when they saw Toyah Battersby, a character they thought was vegan, order an omlette.

This observation even caused some fans to take to social media to ask the soap why she had ordered an omlette if she is vegan! However, Coronation Street has responded to the puzzled fans with a very simple explanation.

The topic of conversation was even brought up on the Coronation Street official Facebook page, which prompted the soap to respond. Replying to one viewer who said, 'I thought Toya is vegan ? Yet she only ordered an omelette in the cafe 😂', sic the official account replied saying, 'She's a vegetarian with vegan friends ;)'.

So that explains it! Although many viewers mistakenly thought Toyah is vegan, they were wrong, she just has some vegan friends. It seems that many viewers thought she was vegan because in one episode the character, played by Georgia Taylor, invited some of her friends over, who happened to belong to the Vegan Society.

Also earlier this week Toyah was the subject of a 'plot flaw' that many viewers noticed. Involving the Eva Price/Toyah Battersby baby storyline, when Eva fell pregnant with her cheating ex Aidan and Toyah's surrogate tragically had a miscarriage, there was only one 'logical' solution.

The women, who share a sister in Leanne, grew close and decided that Toyah would pass off the baby as her own - since no-one else but Eva knows about the miscarriage.

However, in one scene this week, Eva was stood behind the bar in a black dress - but her eight-month bump was quite clearly visible to all. So why did none of the other characters notice or say anything?! You can read more about it here.
