Coronation Street fans think they have spotted a 'potential bombshell' following a character's comment in the ITV soap's latest scenes. During Wednesday night's trip to Weatherfield (August 16), viewers saw Tyrone Dobbs finally discover the truth about his real mum.

But in 2018 investigations into his parentage brought him into contact with grandmother Evelyn, portrayed by Dame Maureen Lipman, for the first time who told him that her daughter, his biological mother was dead.
