Coronation Street’s Tracy Barlow to embark on affair

Coronation Street‘s Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) is to begin an affair with Tommy Orpington (Matt Milburn) in upcoming episodes.

The Weatherfield football legend-turned-painter/decorator is hired by Tracy to spruce up her interiors, after she is left dissatisfied with hubby Steve’s efforts in the bedroom.

Tommy struggles to stay focused though, as it’s clear that he and Tracy are sexually attracted to each other.

It’s not long before Tommy admits to fancying Tracy and kisses her, to which she does not object.

As the pair embark on a steamy affair, has Steve scored a huge own goal by letting his icon home in on his Mrs?

Reprising his role as ex Weathy County striker Tommy, Matt Milburn said: 

“I’ve played Tommy intermittently since 2016 so to be told that I was going to be coming back and given something far more substantial, I was delighted.

“I think Tommy likes Tracy’s sparky nature, her quick retorts and her banter is very sharp. He likes being kept on his toes. She’s not an easy target in many ways. I just think that they seem to have this chemistry between them that none of them see coming.”
