Coronation Street fans fuming as Curtis Delamere's truth comes out

Fans of Coronation Street were fuming while watching tonight's episode as Curtis Delamere's shifty truth was finally revealed.

The character, played by Sam Retford, has recently been diagnosed with a heart condition and his fiancée Emma is trying to get him to see a specialist.

But Curtis was unsure and when Emma offered to go with him and be with him for every step of the way he tried to decline her offer.

The couple are also planning a wedding together and Curtis keeps insisting on making it "low-key" as he doesn't get on with his family and his only close friends live abroad.

Tonight's episode showed him receiving a mysterious phone call.

His mood shifted drastically as he answered the call and he said: "Look, stop calling me ok. Just stop calling me. I'm very... I'm very ill. I'm really ill and I can't deal with this right now. This is just bordering on harassment so just leave me alone, yeah?"

He then abruptly hung up on whoever was on the other side of the call.

The rest of the episode saw Emma escort Curtis to his doctors appointment, but despite her wanting to go into the room with him she found herself waiting outside.

Inside the room, the specialist doctor dropped a bombshell as he said: "As I said last time we met, there's nothing we can do for you. I'm sorry Mr Delamere... Curtis, there's nothing we can do.

"Your heart, as we've said many times before is in A1 condition.

"There is absolutely, 100%, nothing wrong with your heart."

Fans were furious as they were watching the story unfold and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

One user said: "#corrie I knew it! - Curtis is faking it! His heart is 100% healthy. The only thing is, he has NO heart the way he is lying to Emma. He wants to get his greedy hands on Oliver's money."

Lins said: "Omg. I'm happy Curtis isn't really ill, but disappointed In him too. What is he up to? #CoronationStreet #Corrie."

Michelle said: "Curtis is disgusting lying about having a heart condition. Hopefully he gets exposed before he scams poor Emma #corrie."

Iain said: "Curtis is either a con man or a hypochondriac. #Corrie."

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV and ITVHub
