Meanwhile, Sally continues to be suspicious over Tim's behaviour as she can tell that he is hiding something from her.
The latest clue comes when she spots Tim having a secret meeting with Adam Barlow (Samuel Robertson), who later refuses to tell Sally what it was about.
After some advice from her ex-husband Kevin (Michael Le Vell), Sally decides to take the direct approach with Tim and ask him what's going on.
Tim dismisses Sally's theory that he's having an affair, but she still isn't totally convinced and resorts to installing a tracker on his phone.
Coronation Street airs tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
