In Coronation Street spoilers for Friday, December 19, Megan and Will’s secret tryst nearly gets busted by Ben Driscoll, sending hearts racing.

Meanwhile, Joanie’s Christmas spirit hits a snag as she struggles with missing her mum, and takes her frustration out on Sally.

Here’s the full lowdown on what’s unfolding in Friday’s episode.

1. Megan and Will are almost caught in the act
Ben and Eva wish Will a happy birthday but make it sound like they are way too busy to do anything special.

Will tries to play it cool and heads out, only to get a birthday nod from Megan, who cheekily reminds him he’s now 16. Feeling bold, Will slips Megan a hotel key card… and things start heating up.

Meanwhile, Ben, Eva, and Ollie are busy decking out the back room for a surprise party, while poor Maggie keeps calling Will, ignored, of course.

Sparks fly as Will confesses his love to Megan, and she’s more than happy to reciprocate… and maybe take things a little further. But just as the fun kicks off, there’s a loud banging at the door. It’s Ben. Awkward much? Will he catch them out?
