What I&#8217;ve got. Shut your gob!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Kevin tried to wriggle out of the situation, but Debbie was having none of it, as she coldly told him: &#8220;I&#8217;m sure you can justify giving me sleepless night after sleepless night. I don&#8217;t want to know, because, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/tv\/tv-news\/coronation-street-favourite-sacked-spot-35591794\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">that&#8217;s the most liberating thing about having a terminal illness<\/a>.

Before leaving the scene, the hotel manager looked Kevin in the eye and told him: &#8220;I hope you hold onto your wife, because you&#8217;ve just lost your sister.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Later on, Abi apologised to Kevin for telling Debbie the truth, but he took full responsibility for the situation. He added: &#8220;Can&#8217;t blame our Debbie for disowning me, I bet you wish you&#8217;d left me now,&#8221; although Abi did not give him a response.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Despite the major revelation, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/tv\/tv-news\/coronation-street-star-speaks-out-35091353\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Debbie and Kevin are still unaware of Abi&#8217;s infidelity<\/a>. Earlier this week, Carl declared that their initial encounter was &#8216;worth the wait&#8217; and they kissed Abi claimed that things with Kevin were over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">But later, in the Rovers, Carl did not seem so keen on the idea of Abi calling off her entire marriage as she weighed up what they had begun. As viewers will know, last week, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/tv\/tv-news\/coronation-street-legend-disowns-brother-35620605\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Carl organised the theft of an expensive car<\/a> and is aware that his brother could have him arrested at any moment. &#8220;Don&#8217;t I deserve to be happy?&#8221; she asked him and he told her to go home to be with Kevin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">In the days before Kevin&#8217;s brother arrived on the cobbles, the mechanic was famously married to Sally Metcalfe ( <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/sally-dynevor\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sally Dynevor<\/a> ) and they had daughters Rosie ( <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/helen-flanagan\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Helen Flanagan<\/a> ) and Sophie ( <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/brooke-vincent\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brooke Vincent<\/a> ) together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">They initially split up when Kevin had an an affair with Natalie Barnes ( <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/3am\/celebrity-news\/denise-welch-fans-left-baffled-35620111\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Denise Welch<\/a> ) but they remarried in 2002.
