Coronation Street: Out of Africa is a 2008 spin-off DVD set in sun and seaside resort of Sun City, South Africa. Cilla Battersby, the mother from hell, brought her son, Chesney and other "son", Kirk Sutherland, over to Africa to win a competition for $500,000.

PlotEdit

The story begins soon after John Stape's kidnapping of Rosie Webster was revealed in the main show. Fiz Brown receives bad news from her mother, Cilla, about her brother, Chesney, who had recently gone with her friend and ex-boyfriend Kirk to South Africa to see Cilla. Fiz arrives in South Africa to make sure that Chesney is safe. Fiz finds Chesney in a wheelchair but it soon becomes clear that Cilla had lied about Chesney's accident and that Chesney is not in fact injured. She is both relieved and angry, when they inform her this was all a scam to win a competition to find South Africa's best family competition. Fiz reluctantly agrees to participate when Chesney tells her if they win, Cilla has agreed to return to Weatherfield and be his mum. As part of the scam, Fiz is forced pretend to be a nun, Kirk poses as Cilla's mentally disabled son, and Cilla's boyfriend Lesedi pretends to be their step-father. Fiz winds up falling for an AWOL South African soldier, Alex, who is working as a hotel security guard. He asks her to stay in South Africa with him, as he could not apply for a passport for fear of being court-martialed. Fiz agrees to stay in South Africa providing that Cilla will return to Weatherfield to look after Chesney. Another family, the Teals, seem to like Chesney, especially their daughter Ellie who Chesney develops a crush on and they spend romantic nights together. Apart from Fiz, all of the 'Battersbys' went on a safari and got stuck in the bush, before Kirk leads them to safety from wild animals. Cilla says that they should say that Lesedi saved them. The next day, all the family arrive at the ceremony. Unfortunately, Cilla has no intention of keeping her promise of returning. When Chesney overhears her true plans, he ruins the prize ceremony by telling everyone of Cilla's lies. They are disqualified, and Cilla vanishes. A heartbroken Fiz had no choice but to tell Alex goodbye. She attempts, not very successfully, to convince him as well as herself that it had only been a holiday romance anyway. After one final kiss with Alex, Fiz returned to her life on the Street. Chesney tries to say goodbye to Ellie, but she reveals that her parents are getting a divorce and calls Chesney a liar. Chesney is devastated while Kirk says goodbye to Lesedi. In the closing moments, Cilla is crowned "Worst Mom" on South African television by host Alfie Vlok.
