Coronation Street finally confirms Joel Deering's killer - plus a shock twist for Dee-Dee

Max was insistent he'd told the police everything he could already, but they kept going.

Kit (Jacob Roberts) pushed Max to start again, which he did, prompting viewers into a series of flashbacks to uncover the truth of the night.

We started with Dee-Dee (Channique Sterling-Brown), who met Joel for a showdown - but she was understandably very angry, grabbing on to a crowbar and shouting at him.

Vile Joel hurled some disgusting misogynistic comments about Dee-Dee and Lauren (Cait Fitton).

Dee-Dee could take no more and hurled at him with the crowbar, immediately believing she'd killed him.

But he was alive, and Dee-Dee ran away from his evil clutches.

Next, Kit arrived and had an altercation with Joel over planting evidence to frame Nathan.

Their clash was also short-lived, as it was then turn to tell the story of Max and Lauren's involvement.

When Joel appeared on the Lauren's tracker, Lauren and Max set about looking for him.

Max found Joel's car and realised he was about to stage a suicide, but found him on top of a viaduct while also warning Lauren to stay in the car.

The pair struggled, with Max eventually strangled by Joel.

Before he passed out entirely, Joel was smacked over the head by a mystery figure, and before he could get back up again, he was pounded once more, fatally, over the head with a large rock.

The figure was revealed to be none other than Lauren.

With the truth now out to viewers, the pair had to cover their tracks, and they threw him over the edge to make it look like suicide.

Max turned himself in, of course, but it was revealed he'd written a letter to Lauren confirming he will take the hit for the murder as she needs to be a mum to Frankie.

But Coronation Street had one more twist up its sleeve, as it revealed troubled Dee-Dee hiding something away in her bag.

When she was alone, she pulled out a pregnancy test.

Is she actually pregnant?
