CORONATION Street character Michael Bailey's secret life is set to be exposed as his ex girlfriend - complete with his mystery child - rock up on the cobbles.

The character, played by Ryan Russell, "won't know what's hit him" say soap insiders.

Michael, who is the eldest of the Bailey brothers, will see his history come back to haunt him in upcoming scenes.

Recently, his little brother James' sexuality has been at the heart of the family's plotlines in Weatherfield, after Michael discovered he was gay.

Yet while the footballer attempts to keep his romantic preferences under wraps, Michael will be forced to confront his, as a source close to the soap revealed: “Michael isn't going to know what's hit him when his ex turns up and reminds him about their child.

“When she told Michael she was pregnant he didn't react well.

“The flaky self-professed entrepreneur disappeared for a week and proved to her just how immature he is.

“She knew he wouldn't be a good father so cut him out of her and their daughter's life before the birth."

They told how Michael's child is called Tiana and added of the plotline: “He didn't do much to try and find her and has moved on so he's going to be shocked when they both turn up on the cobbles.

“Aggie and Ed are going to be shocked to find out they are already grandparents but with the struggles they're going through, they're disgusted with Michael for abandoning his child.”

Michael's ex and daughter have already started filming scenes on the cobbles, so they'll be on screen before the end of the year.

Earlier this year, Michael's dad, builder Ed, was exposed after striving to hide a secret gambling addiction.

He admitted to Michael he was caught in a financial hole and needed £5k to sort it out.

Michael then found himself in trouble when he was confronted by his parents who found a positive pregnancy test. He tried to convince them that it was a business venture, but his furious mum threw him out.

A Coronation Street spokesperson told The Sun Online they did not comment on individual storylines.
