THIS is the terrifying moment Corrie’s bookies is hit by a raging inferno.
Peter Barlow and his lad Simon are stuck inside.
Alcoholic Peter (Chris Gascoyne) starts the fierce blaze when he drops a cigarette after nodding off following a booze binge in the flat above the shop. He is woken by Simon (Alex Bain) but then falls on the lad trapping them both in the fume-filled building.
They pass out — but factory boss Luke Strong (Craig Kelly) and villainous Tony Gordon (Gray O’Brien) rescue the pair — along with their pet rabbit.
Simon is left fighting for his life. Days before the scenes air in the ITV1 soap on Monday, Peter’s step-mum Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride) finds out he is back on the booze and tries to get Simon to stay with her and Ken.
But Ken (William Roache) says his grandson is best with his dad — only to be left feeling guilty after the fire.
An insider said: “Peter is devastated by what he has done.”
