Coronation Street fans were taken aback to find out Stephen Reid is married during Monday's episode.
The week's first instalment of the long-running ITV soap saw Stephen tell Jenny Bradley his "lips are sealed" over the kiss they shared during the 24 hours she and Leo Thompkins were broken up. And it may be because he was also being adulterous.
A woman pulled up alongside Stephen in her car as he walked down Coronation Street. After winding the window down, she said: "Hello stranger, or should I say 'hubby'?"
