Coronation Street’s Tracy McDonald (Kate Ford) is set for a steamy affair with Weatherfield County footballing legend Tommy Orpington (Matt Milburn).
Fans of the ITV soap will see Tracy employ newly retired footballer turned painter/decorator Tommy to spruce up her interior, after being underwhelmed by husband Steve McDonald’s (Simon Gregson) efforts in the bedroom.
With lazy Steve failing to get the decorating done, Tommy takes up the job, but it quickly becomes clear his mind isn’t just on the work as the sexual chemistry between Tracy and Tommy leaves her hot under the collar.

As Tommy admits he fancies Tracy and leans in for a kiss and it looks like there’s no red card for Tommy as Tracy takes their attraction to extra time. As the pair embark on a steamy affair, has Steve scored a huge own goal by letting his icon home in on his wife?
Reprising his role as ex striker Tommy, actor Matt Milburn said “I was absolutely thrilled and over the moon, because it’s something I’ve wanted for years. I’ve played Tommy intermittently since 2016 so to be told that I was going to be coming back and given something far more substantial, I was delighted. Tommy is the perfect character for me to play because I love football and he’s a famous northern footballer. It’s great to be back!”
On Tommy’s instant attraction to Coronation Street siren Tracy, Matt explains: “I think he likes her sparky nature, her quick retorts and her banter is very sharp. He likes being kept on his toes. She’s not an easy target in many ways. I just think that they seem to have this chemistry between them that none of them see coming.”

Over Christmas, florist Tracy and Tommy crossed passed. She was not impressed when she had to cook Christmas dinner for 10 people. Things later turned awkward when friction was caused between her and Steve by a joke about age-gaps in a relationship. She popped over the flower shop to find a bottle of wine but ended up serving Tommy, who was in the shop at the time looking for a last minute gift for his mother.
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday on ITV1 and ITVX at 8pm
