In teasers for the coming week, the pair discover their clandestine relationship revealed by none other than Tracy Barlow.

In forthcoming episodes, Carl draws Abi into an embrace which quickly becomes a fervent kiss whilst they're alone at number 13, reports Leicestershire Live.

Nevertheless, Tracy is covertly observing them through the kitchen window, sporting a cunning grin...

Making an appearance on Wednesday's This Morning to discuss the plot, Sally, 50, momentarily interrupted her chat to highlight her real-life spouse, Joe Duttine, beaming proudly from the side of the studio as the camera shifted to capture the Coronation Street performer.

Sally remarked: "My husband's just there, hi babe!" as the camera moved to show him waving in return.

Joe, 55, portrays Tim Metcalfe on the cobbles and wed his co-star Sally in 2022, with the couple frequently posting affectionate photographs on Instagram.

Posting on Twitter, now X, one viewer commented: "Married to Tim in real life #thismorning" whilst another fan replied: "Never knew that! ! !" and a separate admirer noted: "yes not many people do to be fair, they got married few years back!"

Discussing her current storyline on Wednesday's This Morning, and whether her character Abi's feelings for Carl are genuine or just self-sabotage, Sally revealed: "I think she thinks they're genuine.

"I think there's a real need and desire for her to have that perfect love. I mean, there's no such thing, but you know that sort of because he's promised her a family unit. He said he'll take Alfie on and he loves her and will support her and create this home. She wants to believe him."

In the same interview, Sally confessed that she's been on the receiving end of some soap fans' anger over her latest plotline.

She quipped: "Oh you cannot mess with Kevin Webster! I've been handbagged in the street, yeah!".

This comes after Sally recently posted some romantic pictures with Joe during their trip to Rome, Italy. She captioned them: "Rome antics #roma #fithusband #pasta #weekendaway #limone #badleg."

Reacting to the post, one fan commented: "Lovely photos of you both hope you are having a lovely time", another user wrote: "Gorgeous couple" while another chimed in: "Lovely photos of a stunning couple xxx."

Coronation Street continues on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV and ITV X.
