Coronation Street fans were left gobsmacked as soap legend David Platt's age was revealed minutes into Wednesday night's episode (February 22). Over breakfast a downcast David admitted to his mum Gail that his long-suffering wife Shona had left him.
David has been spiralling since his son Max was put behind bars after pleading guilty to encouraging terrorism, which led to Alya Nazir being stabbed at the bistro by racist teen Blake. In Monday night's Corrie, David got drunk after being told Max didn't want to see him.
There was a shock as he tried to kiss his friend Maria Windass, who recoiled in horror and reminded him they were both married, and that David was drunk. But Maria's husband Gary went on the rampage and told Shona while confronting David in the Rovers.
