𧏠BEYOND BELIEF: THE SH0CKING TRUTH ABOUT BENâS BIOLOGICAL FATHER FINALLY UNVEILED IN MAGGIEâS DEVASTATING TWIST!
Coronation Streetâs Ben Driscoll discovers that his childhood was built on a lie next week, when Maggie drops a bombshell over his biological father. But will she admit that the late Jim McDonald is his dad?
The drama kicks off at The Rovers when Ben experiences a nasty dizzy spell, which leaves Maggie desperate to call an ambulance. However, Ben insists that his mum should come clean about his dad instead.
Backed into a corner, Maggie realises she has no choice but to spill her decades-old secretâŠ
âMaggie finally confesses to Ben that Alan isnât his father,â confirms our Coronation Street spy. âShe gives in because Ben is clearly still fixated on a recent conversation of theirs, in which Maggie triggered his suspicions about Alan, who died in the early 90s.
âItâs obvious that Ben isnât going to drop it, so Maggie explains to her son that he was the result of an affair â but refuses to be drawn on the identity of the man she met all those years agoâŠâ
Afterwards, Steve calls at the pub and shares that heâs left his daughter Amy alone with Benâs son Ollie at No.1. As Maggie reacts in a shocking way, concerned about the cousins getting too close, will she blurt out that Ben is Jim McDonaldâs son?
Later in the week, Ben perches at the Bistro bar while he tries to get his head around the fact that Alan wasnât his biological father.
âBen is going through so much pain,â explains our source. âThe look on his face while heâs sitting at the Bistro is upsetting enough, but just wait until you see him back at home looking at a photo of him as a child with Alan.

âLuckily, Eva is on hand to promise Ben that Alan loved him as his own.â
Moments later, Maggie enters the room, prompting Ben to declare that he wants nothing to do with her. True to form, Maggie snaps back at Ben with a hurtful comment.
âBen is already in a bad place, and Maggie has the audacity to pour salt into the wound,â continues our insider. âYouâd think that a mother would offer her sympathies in a situation as difficult as this, but thatâs Maggie for you.
âHopefully she doesnât react in the same way when Will finds out that heâs the last of the family to be brought in on the secretâŠâ
Will Maggie ever disclose that Jim McDonald is the mystery man who fathered Ben? Or will she keep her son in the dark to protect herself?
