"Max is filming [at the Ice Ball] and he sees Daniel put something in her backpack," Bever explains.

"Summer hasn't been eating properly, Daniel's concerned because of her diabetes and puts a bar in her bag. Max sees him to do that and when he looks through Summer's bag, which is of course an invasion of her privacy, he also finds the poem which Daniel has written for Summer's application and takes it the wrong way.

"Max is really concerned about it because he's become very protective of Summer, she represents something really positive in his life, at the moment she's the only person giving him that sort of positive attention. He's not only very protective of her as an individual but also of what she represents in his life."

Despite him wanting to protect her, there's also an element of jealously as he fancies Summer.

"I think he has a huge crush on [Summer] which has developed because she's the only person who's giving him the time of day at the moment, everyone else is quite dismissive of him.

"His crush is developing on Summer because she believes in him, she sees good in him whereas everyone else just sees a naughty little boy. He sees Summer as this positive female role model and having lost his mum that's huge and another reason why he's so protective of this relationship."

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7.30pm on ITV.
