Coronation Street’s pregnant Gemma Winter shows off baby bump as mum Bernie gets caught shoplifting
CORONATION Street’s Gemma Winter gets herself into spot of bother when her estranged mother Bernie is caught shoplifting.
The pregnant girlfriend of Chesney Brown recently reunited with her mum (Jane Hazlegrove) but it’s far from plain-sailing after she’s caught stealing in newly-released pictures from an upcoming episode.
The pair are seen indulging in a spot of retail therapy, picking up some clothes for Gemma’s quadruplets when Bernie has other ideas.
In the photos, deceitful Bernie is stopped by a security guard, who searches her tie-dye tote bag only to find a pair of jeans while Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) looks on.
However, things go from bad to worse as newcomer Bernie gets into a heated argument with the guard while a heavily-pregnant Gemma watches in astonishment.
Things begin to escalate as he grabs her by the shoulder and pulls her away when she refuses to hand over the goods.
Last month, The Sun Online revealed how Bernie will cause havoc in the house when she arrives by flirting with Chesney and leaving Gemma convinced she’s trying to bed him.
A source said: “When Bernie starts to treat Ches as one of the family, she’s a bit too tactile and Gemma decides her mum is after her boyfriend.”
The insider added: “Worse still, Chesney becomes convinced of it too and he begins to behave strangely trying to fend off his mother-in-law.
“He’s going to be left squirming in his own house and stuck between Gemma and her mother. It’s going to be a classic Corrie comedy storyline with an oblivious Bernie at the centre of it all.”
Bernie is going to prove herself quite the conwoman when she arrives in Weatherfield in Coronation Street – when she steals her pregnant daughter’s urine for use in a scam.
A source told The Sun Online: “Bernie hasn’t always been the best mother to Gemma but she’s determined to prove that she can be now that Gemma’s pregnant.
“She does want to be there for Gemma but she can’t help herself when she sees a money-making scam opportunity with Gemma being pregnant.
“Bernie doesn’t see anything wrong with using Gemma to make a bit of money – even if it does mean stealing her own daughter’s wee.”

The insider added: “Bernie deliberately blocks the toilet in the house so Gemma has no choice but to use a bucket when she needs to go.
“She decides to team up with another street resident to cash in on the abundant supply to help others fake a pregnancy test.
“But it won’t all run smoothly and Gemma and Chesney aren’t going to be impressed with Bernie’s behaviour.”
