Coronation Street fans were stunned to learn Todd Grimshaw’s (Gareth Price) new scaffolder beau Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) had a wife and teenage daughter.
Theo’s family were torn apart after his wife Danielle (Natalie Anderson) caught him and Todd passionately kissing.
Monday’s episode of the ITV soap saw Theo’s daughter Millie (Kaitlyn Earley) rock up at No.11 with another bombshell.
Todd overheard Millie on the phone, which led her to reveal she is six weeks pregnant.
Seeking advice from Todd, he encouraged her to take another pregnancy test just to be sure she’s pregnant before telling her dad.
But when Todd arrived back with a pregnancy test, Millie spilled her secret.
Theo was left reeling by the pregnancy news and blamed Todd for telling her to keep it a secret from him.
Theo agreed to move back into their family home with Millie to support her going forward – leaving Todd heartbroken.
Not knowing where he stands – has Millie broken the couple up for good?
And is Millie really pregnant? Or is it all a ploy to get her dad back home again?
Elsewhere, Brody suffered an epileptic fit on the street and was found by Kit, Bernie and Sarah – who swiftly took him to hospital.
The thankful teen stayed in overnight for observation, while Bernie decided to keep the beanie hat he was wearing.
She explained to Kit that he could use the hair from his hat as a DNA sample and finally find out if he is his biological son. But will Kit go ahead with it?
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX.
