ITV Coronation Street spoilers: Cheating Tracy Barlow’s guilt consumes her as Steve McDonald issues sad apology
Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and Tracy Barlow’s (Kate Ford) marriage has been pretty dry for a number of years in Coronation Street, so it’s no wonder that Tracy sought a bit of fun elsewhere.
Tracy has been secretly seeing former football pro Tommy Orpington (Matt Milburn) behind Steve’s back for a number of weeks, after hiring him to decorate their bedroom.
Not only is this a huge betrayal on Tracy’s part, but Tommy is Steve’s all-time favourite player, so if he ever found out that the man he has idolised for so many years was sleeping with his wife, we can only imagine how hurt he would be.
In upcoming scenes, Steve admits to Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) that he has been neglecting Tracy recently, and decides to organise a romantic meal for them at the Bistro.
While they enjoy lunch together, Steve apologises for taking her for granted, and makes it clear that he still loves her.
As Steve gushes over her, Tracy is struck with guilt over her actions.
However, that doesn’t stop her from texting Tommy the next day to summon him to her free house.
Knowing that Steve is on an airport run and won’t be home for while, Tommy can’t resist heading round, and it doesn’t take long for the pair to take things to the bedroom.
Unfortunately, it is exactly this moment that Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) decides to give Gav Adetiba (Noah Olaoye) a hand cleaning the windows of No.1, and is horrified to get an eyeful.
Tracy screams when she spots Tim’s face at the window and mortified Tim wastes no time in scurrying back down the ladder.
Tim and Gav are soon given strict instructions from Tracy not to share what they have witnessed with anyone, as she lies and tells them that she and Steve were enjoying some lunchtime fun.
Later, however, Tim decides to retell the tale to Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor), who later learns from Steve that he spent the whole day in his car.
Having heard from both Tim and Steve, Sally is left wondering who was in bed with Tracy…
