But Michelle let her mask slip slightly when she was arguing with Robert and she accidentally mentioned the woods that the van was supposed to have been spotted in.
Robert pointed out that he hadn't mentioned the woods... but instead of confessing she was framing him, Michelle kept her lies up and covered her tracks.

The plot then thickened when the police questioned Robert at the station and revealed Vicky's house had not only been deep cleaned, but that a fragment of vase with Vicky's blood on it had been found in his van.
But innocent Robert maintained that he he had no idea how that got in his car and was left speechless when they police charged him with GBH and told him he would be staying in a cell over night.
But it wasn't until the end of the second episode last night that it was revealed vengeful Michelle was in cahoots with Vicky, and fans loved it...
As Michelle went to see Vicky at the motel she has been hiding at, it was clear the women were in on the drama together.
But while Vicky was clearly enjoying the fact Robert was finding himself in hot water, it seemed Michelle was having second thoughts.
Could she come clean about the while operation? Or will Michelle and Vicky both see Robert go prison for a crime that he didn't commit?
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
