Her late husband Iain also experienced the distress of a leaking stoma bag, enduring nine leaks in a single day while in hospital. She said: "He was very, very embarrassed while he was in the hospital, because it was just leak after leak. She said: "I came home, and I devised something, and I took it up to him, and it worked. Then other people in the ward asked if I could make it for them. It did make a big difference to our lives, and Iain felt more confident, so we started to go back out.
Anne also expressed gratitude to Coronation Street scriptwriters for bringing attention to an issue that impacts many in the UK. An episode on Wednesday November 6 will feature a poignant moment for Bethany Platt, portrayed by Lucy Fallon, when she faces embarrassment after her stoma bag leaks in the pub - a consequence of a failed cosmetic surgery abroad which resulted in sepsis.
Lisa Crombie, managing director of Confidence Plus Ltd, the company behind the ConfiPlus device, praised the popular soap for tackling a sensitive health issue. She said: "Having a show like Coronation Street address such a common but unspoken problem like stoma bag leakage and the lifestyle challenges that come with it is great to see.
