Coronation Street airs extra episode TONIGHT as Tim suffers a heart attack

There's a bumper episode of Corrie on tonight for soap fans

Coronation Street fans are getting an extra episode tonight but it’s bad news for Tim Metcalfe.

The taxi driver is going to suffer a horrifying heart attack tonight as the stress of looking after his injured wife Sally becomes too much.

Tonight’s bumper episode will see Tim reaching for the indigestion tablets when he thinks he’s just feeling a bit under the weather.

He brushes feeling unwell under the carpet in front of Sally so she won’t worry but that turns out to be an awful mistake.

When Gina goes to see him at the cab office to book a taxi so that she can leave the Street, she is shocked to see what kind of a state he is in.

Realising her brother-in-law isn’t well at all, Gina drags Tim home and orders him to rest up.

But when Tim starts getting chest pains, Gina knows something is seriously wrong and refuses to leave Weatherfield until she knows he is okay.

She later demands Sally take Tim to a doctor but then things take a more terrifying turn.

Things start to escalate and Sally is forced to call for an ambulance instead.

As Tim is whisked off to hospital, Sally is left fearing the worst for her husband.

Thankfully later this week he will be on the mend and sent home to Sally who is determined to make him healthy.

She is adamant that she is going to look after him, with her first job being to make sure he eats nothing but healthy food from now on.

As Sally starts to plan a menu of salad and veg, Tim’s clearly not taking his wellbeing seriously and starts to hunt through the house for chocolate.

While Sally might be making the right changes for her husband, it is clear that Tim isn’t phased by his latest hospital dash.
