Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street star Adam Hussain has spoken about his big new storyline for the first time.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy on the red carpet at the British Soap Awards 2023, Adam explained: "I've got this storyline coming up involving Stephanie Davis. She's a phenomenal actress.
"It does get a bit raunchy at some parts, so viewer discretion is advised!"
He continued: "This is a side to Aadi that he's now beginning to explore.
"It's exciting to see how he behaves in this circumstance, especially with this cougar and sugar mummy — and how he's being treated!"

Courtney is the glamourous wife of Dev Alahan's business associate Darren, played by The Archers actor Ryan Early.
While Dev and Darren are busy talking business, Courtney decides that she'd like a toyboy lover and sets her sights on Aadi, who turned 18 at the start of this year.
Aadi soon finds himself caught up in a web of deceit, as Courtney comes up with reasons for them to meet up behind Dev and Darren's backs.
Asked whether Aadi has genuine feelings for Courtney or whether it's just a fling, Adam replied: "I think there are genuine feelings, but obviously, she is an older woman, so it's going to be interesting to see how that dynamic plays out."

Stephanie previously played Sinead O'Connor on Hollyoaks between 2010 and 2015 and returned for a second stint between 2018 and 2019.
In a statement last month, she said: "I am absolutely delighted to be joining the cast of Coronation Street, playing the part of Courtney Vance. Growing up I have always watched and loved the show, so to be part of the biggest TV soap in Britain, which is in the hearts and homes of so many people, is an honour."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
