Abi and Carl Webster’s forbidden romance could be exposed on Coronation Street next week, as a risky picture ends up in Hope Dobbs’s hands.

At Webster’s Autos, Cassie Plummer mocks Tyrone Dobbs over a photo of his bum that Hope cheekily snapped on her phone.

But for Abi, the naughty image is no laughing matter…

“Abi starts to panic when Kevin asks to see the funny pic,” our Corrie source reveals. “In fact, as soon as he does, she suggests that Tyrone should give Hope her phone back.

“Soap bosses are keeping quiet about exactly why Abi feels so disturbed – but considering that she later recruits Carl to fix things, it must be something to do with those two…”

After the banter dies down, Tyrone agrees to give Hope back her phone – plus let her attend a gig with Jack Webster – on the basis that she deletes the unflattering picture. However, Hope refuses to honour her dad’s wishes and reveals that she’s going to post his behind online anyway.

Having heard everything, Abi instructs Carl to visit No.9 and track down the phone before Hope has the chance to access her social media. Can the mechanic get there before it’s too late?

Earlier in the week, Abi is forced to try and hide from Tyrone while spending time with Carl.

After feigning yet another illness to Kevin, the mum-of-three meets her lover at No.13, only to feel too guilty to enjoy herself.

As a result, Carl suggests that they go for a drive in his car – which Tyrone spots as soon as they hit the precinct.

“Talk about risky,” our source points out. “Ty recognises the vehicle, so Carl jumps out and races over, while Abi sinks as low as she can. You’ll have to wait and see whether Tyrone spots her…”

Is Abi and Carl’s affair finally about to be made public?
