IT’S going to be an emotional Coronation Street double-bill tonight as Sinead Tinker and Daniel Osbourne finally tie the knot.
But it’s a bittersweet affair as the bride-to-be makes a terrifying discovery moments before the couple prepare to say their vows.
Corrie fans will know that Sinead has been plotting a secret squirrel wedding to surprise Daniel – telling him to meet her for lunch at the Bistro.
But – after his almost-kiss with Bethany Platt last week – he is keen to avoid the place and announces he’s taking baby Bertie out for the day.
Bethany warns her friend that he needs to be at the Bistro, for Sinead’s sake.
When he eventually arrives Daniel is floored to see Sinead in her wedding dress and they then prepare to make their wedding legal.
Tragedy strikes though when Sinead’s aunt, Beth Tinker, finds a lump in her niece’s neck while doing her hair.
After Beth breaks the news to her, a terrified Sinead quietly takes Daniel to one side and tells him she’s found a lump.
She then tries to encourage her husband-to-be to put his fears to one side and enjoy their day as he struggles to cope with the news.
But Daniel is too afraid and ends up fleeing the wedding, followed by Bethany who tries to get him to open up.
Daniel is too distraught to speak but manages to make his way make to the wedding where he delivers an emotional speech.
The episode will see Sinead and Daniel dance through their tears as they both fear what the future holds for their family.
Meanwhile, the newlyweds are set to get more devastating news on Wednesday after Sinead attends a scan to find out what’s going on.
