Coronation Street's Robert in hot water with police over Vicky's disappearance

Coronation Street 's Robert could be in big trouble with the police over the mysterious disappearance of Vicky.

Two-timing Robert was outrageously outed by fiancée Michelle on what was supposed to be their wedding day as she read text messages between him and his mistress Vicky out loud for their guests.

Things were looking peachy for Michelle as she succeeded in her plan of taking the Bistro from her cheating partner.

And things looked to be getting worse and worse for Robert after he was questioned over Vicky's mysterious disappearance.

He had gone round to see her on the night before his wedding to Michelle, after she burst into the Bistro to threaten him.

The pair fought and loud crashes and shouting disturbed a neighbour who was just about to knock on the door when silence fell.

Robert assured Michelle that Vicky wouldn't be bothering them anymore, and suspicions grew when her son Tyler showed up to say she was missing and accuse Robert of hurting her.

Robert was questioned by police over Vicky's whereabouts before he turned up at Tyler's house to accuse him of reporting him to the police.

He tried to assure Tyler that he would never hurt Vicky, but Tyler ordered him to leave.

Meanwhile, Michelle was quizzed by police about Vicky and about Robert's violent past.

She told the detective about what happened when Vicky crashed their wedding announcement, and there were concerns over why Robert said Vicky wouldn't be bothering them again.

Michelle confessed Robert couldn't sleep that night so that he went for a walk by the canal.

She tried to say that she didn't believe Robert could have killed Vicky, but the officer jumped in to ask if he was ever violent.

But it was Carla who threw Robert under the bus, telling the police about the time Robert beat up Richie to protect Michelle.

She'd told Michelle that she should have told the truth, but Michelle said: "I just don't want to be the one who drops him in it, I think I've put him through enough."

Carla confessed to the police that Robert had beaten Richie up, and that he'd put a brick through her car window, but unbeknown to her, Robert saw everything.

Fans thought Michelle should have told the truth too.

One said on Twitter : "Why is Michelle protecting Robert? He got another woman pregnant."

Another wrote: "So Michelle's more than willing to take Robert's business but won't tell the Police the real truth about his violent record really? Why exactly? NOT like she actually owes him anything after all is it?"

And one posted: "I'm surprised Michelle is covering up for Robert & protecting him!"

* Coronation Street returns to ITV on Monday
