Coronation Street spoilers: Tim Metcalfe ‘exposes’ Tracy Barlow’s affair to Steve McDonald as betrayal is revealed

An awkward moment involving Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) in Coronation Street is the catalyst for Tracy Barlow’s (Kate Ford) affair with Tommy Orpington (Matt Milburn) being revealed.

Tracy and Tommy started having an affair when he arrived on the cobbles as a painter and decorator, just as Steve (Simon Gregson) left and took a trip to France.

It didn’t take long for Tracy to start admiring the skills Tommy has that don’t require a paintbrush but in upcoming episodes, the excitement of sneaking around and embracing the lust causes them to make a huge mistake.

When Tracy reveals that she’s got the house to herself because Steve is on an airport run, Tommy cannot resist.As Tracy checks out Tommy’s painting in the bedroom, Gav (Noah Olaoye) starts cleaning the windows of Number 1, with Tim giving him a hand getting to grips with the ladder.

However, just as Tracy looks out the window, she spots Tim’s face and screams.

Tim is left utterly mortified and quickly hurries down the ladder.

As Tracy appears at the door, she tells Gav and Tim that she was enjoying some lunchtime fun with Steve, but would be grateful if they kept it to themselves.

Back at home, Tim tells Sal (Sally Dynevor) about his eyeful but when Steve later reveals he spent the entire day in his car, Sally is left wondering who Tracy was in bed with.

As a new week begins, Tim tells Tracy that he knows all about the affair and she has to tell Steve.

Full of dread, Tracy returns home, but is wrongfooted when Steve goes down on one knee and asks her if she’ll renew their vows!

An excited Steve tells Tim that he and Tracy are renewing their vows and he’d like him to be his best man.

Tim is completely horrified, but is this the moment he breaks the news to Steve that Tracy is sleeping with his footballing hero?
