Coronation Street is lining up another tragic twist in Summer Spellman's struggle with an eating disorder, with the teenager set to make a dangerous decision.

Following an emotional exchange between Summer and Billy Mayhew about her eating habits back in April, Summer will continue to reconcile the effects she believes insulin is having on her body in an upcoming episode.

While looking ahead to the summer, Summer and boyfriend Aaron plan their holiday to Spain. Anxious about how they'll spend their time, Summer admits that she'd rather focus on sight-seeing than sunbathing.
