Poor little Chesney Battersby-Brown, he has had a rough time of it recently, what with his step dad Les and mum Cilla both waltzing off and leaving him in the care of dozy Kirk. Things have been bad for Ches, but they are about to get even worse, as the house he shares with Kirk becomes infested with rats, and he is taken into care as a result.

When the boys first discover their rodent problem, they try to lay traps with cheese and goodies. But things just get worse as the rats eat the food, but evade the traps.

Eventually Coronation Street neighbours begin to become infected by the vermin, and thats when Chesney’s problems really begin.

What I want to know is, where is Fiz when all this takes place? Surely as Chesney’s older sister, she should be looking out for his welfare?
