Drowning her sorrows in tequila in the Rovers, Tracy was determined to see 2019 out in style, and that's exactly what she did as she ended up drunkenly going home with lawyer Paula.

There have been rumours that Tracy was going to cheat on Steve circling for months, but tonight's episode of Coronation Street confirmed that Tracy's New Year fling was with Paula as the florist woke up in her bed at the start of the hour-long special.

While Paula clearly found the whole thing amusing, especially when Tracy's daughter Amy popped round to her flat to drop off some work papers, almost catching her mum red handed.

But Tracy failed to see the funny side, knowing that her marriage was at stake. But unluckily for Tracy, it didn't take Amy long to put two and two together and work out that her mum had been doing the dirty with Paula.

However, while a horrified Amy vowed to tell Steve everything if Tracy didn't come clean herself, fans were loving the scenes between Tracy and Paula and have begged soap bosses for more scenes between the pair...

With Steve set to find out in the coming weeks that Tracy has cheated on him, could the pair find their marriage on the rocks leading to Tracy finding comfort in Paula's arms?

Or is this just going to be yet another setback in the world of Steve and Tracy?

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
