Carl sleeps with James in Coronation Street

In tonight’s episode of Coronation Street that is already available on ITVX and YouTube, Abi heads off on holiday abroad with Kevin.

Despite Tracy having her sights set on Carl, Carl knows that sleeping with her would be too dangerous.

Instead, he’s turned to his personal trainer James and ends up sleeping with him at the hotel.

And, clearly not feeling any ounce of guilt, he agrees to see James again.

Tracy is already demanding money from Carl Webster in exchange for keeping his and Abi’s affair a secret, but could this only add more fuel to the fire?

Coronation Street star Jonathan Howard addresses Carl and James twist

With Carl about to cheat on Abi with personal trainer James Bailey, actor Jonathan Howard has now spilled the beans on Carl’s decision.

He explained: “Carl likes living life on the edge, he is a hedonist and a free spirit, he is attracted to a person regardless of their gender and if he sees something he wants he goes for it with no real thought to the consequences of his actions.
