CORONATION Street’s Maggie Driscoll has gone into overdrive to stop her grandson Ollie sleep with his secret cousin.
The killer – who is played by actress Pauline McLynne in the ITV soap – is the only one who knows about the true parentage of her son Ben.
The Sun exclusively revealed how he will be soon revealed to be the biological son of Jim McDonald after he and Maggie had an affair in the 70s.
That makes Ben Steve McDonald’s half brother – and crucially makes their children cousins.
So when Ben’s son Ollie and Steve’s daughter Amy strike up a flirtation – things take a turn for Maggie.
In today’s episode she discovers that the secret cousins have plans for a second date – and she takes action.

But with Jim’s funeral approaching and the secret sure to be exposed, how will Ollie and Amy cope with discovering they are related?
