Just when it looked like Coronation Street's Robert Preston (Tristan Gemmill) and Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh) were getting closer again, something comes along to mess it all up.

We know that Robert is having a surprise fling with Vicky Jefferies (Kerri Quinn), but now it looks like that storyline is going to head to somewhere far more dramatic.

The Sun states that Robert and Michelle will throw a secret wedding under the guise of it being his 50th birthday, but Vicky will turn up and tell him she is carrying his baby.

This will put Robert in a rock and a hard place situation: does he try to pursue happiness with Michelle, or does he leave for a woman he doesn't really know all that well to be a father?

We know that Robert is leaving the soap (Tristan kicked off the slate of exit announcements) and we came up with multiple theories about how he might go.

This baby storyline could be the reason, but there are plenty of other ways it could happen...
