Coronation Street airs drama on Wednesday night, as Emma Brooker finds her darkest secret exposed on the ITV soap - ahead of her exit later in the week.

The character's secret boyfriend Jon is finally told that she and Faye Windass were involved in the death of his grandfather Ted earlier this year.

In January the girls were involved in a car accident, as they ran over an elderly man named Ted.

When Ted later died, with his cause of death thought to be linked to the car incident, the girls kept it all a secret.

With the lie hanging over her, Emma was shocked when Jon asked her to move to Australia with him, after she embarked on a secret romance with him.

Emma actress Alexandra Mardell recently quit the soap, and her exit will air at the end of the week.

Teasing that Emma might face prison for her crimes, or be forced to go on the run, she remained coy over how the character leaves the show.

She told The Mirror and other press: "It would not be good.

"I feel like she would be targeted straight away. What would be interesting is to see if she went to prison and came back in the future, how she would have changed, how prison life has changed her."

The star also revealed she was pleased with her final scenes and her exit plot, but added she was "emotional" and "overwhelmed" on set when it came to wrapping up.

She said: "I was so lucky and really pleased that my last scene was my last scene, especially with Covid still lurking around and schedules have been changing.

"I was lucky that happened for me, and I was not expecting it to be that emotional. I knew obviously I was gonna be upset saying bye to everyone.

"As soon as the AD said ‘that's a wrap, that’s Alexandra’s last scene,’ I burst into tears uncontrollably. I could not stop and I didn’t know what was wrong with me.

"I was so overwhelmed and I think all of the support of the cast and crew, being there at that moment as well coming to say goodbye, it really overwhelmed me. I was very upset and sad to say goodbye."
