Their sex life has become somewhat of a bone of contention among Coronation Street fans but Sally and Tim Metcalfe were at it again during the latest trip to the cobbles - however, it all went very wrong.
The couple have been having problems with their usual steamy antics in the bedroom following Tim's heart surgery. The Street Cars taxi driver underwent a life-saving operation in January after suffering a heart attack. He and his wife became insufferable as they had to abstain from any additional activities until Tim was given the all-clear by a doctor.
But since then, the couple have been struggling to rekindle the physical side of their relationship with Tim refusing to visit a doctor. Earlier this week in the ITV soap, Sally was left delighted when Tim won an overnight stay at one of Debbie Webster's plush hotels in a raffle for Steve McDonald's late son Oliver.

Thinking this would be their opportunity to spend some quality alone time together, Sally jumped at the chance to spend the night away from home whereas Tim was less than thrilled. Worried about how he'd perform in the bedroom, Tim ordered some pills offline and was desperately waiting for them to arrive before heading to the hotel.
In the end, he asked neighbour Gail Platt to take in the parcel for him and he dashed back in his spa robe, claiming it was a gift for Sally, with his wife none the wiser. Then, as the pair passionately kissed back in their room after an afternoon in the spa, Tim became short of breath.
Sally was clearly concerned for her husband's health and he had to confess to Sally about the tablet before he collapsed on the bed asking her to call an ambulance. The pair ended up at the hospital where Sally was forced to tell the doctor he had taken something to "put the snap back in his celery" leaving Tim mortified. But he was given a clean bill of health with the doctor thinking he had a panic attack.
And it's fair to say Corrie fans were stunned by some of the scenes, especially Tim and Sally's mulling over their sex life before attempting to enjoy a steamy clinch. @Yorvik187 tweeted: "Oh no, more of Tim and Sally's sex life. It's not funny, it's revolting. #Corrie."
