CORRIE is rocked to the core when a popular old resident owns up to his under-age sex secret.
Rita’s new fancy man, Colin Grimshaw, is exposed as the secret dad of knicker-stitcher Julie Carp.
The shocking revelations will be screened in May when Colin – played by Edward De Souza, 77 – confesses to a gob-smacked Rovers Return that 20 years earlier he took advantage of 14-year-old schoolgirl Paula Carp and got her pregnant.
So Julie (Katy Cavanagh, 35) is his secret daughter.
Tearfully he confesses: “Yes it’s true. I seduced Paula when she was just a schoolgirl. And because she was so young people must be calling me all sorts.
“I suppose people will say I’m a kiddie-fiddler and a paedophile. And I suppose it’s true.
“But I was so flattered by this young girl’s attention that I never thought about it like that.
“I know I should have stopped it before it began, but I couldn’t help myself. I split up two families and caused everyone such terrible pain”
Colin’s daughter Eileen (Sue Cleaver, 42) who was Paula’s best friend at the time, is disgusted.
She remembers Paula suddenly moving away from Weatherfield with her parents.
But she never knew where she had gone, or why.
Eileen tells her pals: “He was nothing more than a middle-aged pervert back then. And now he is just a sick old man.”
Also sickened is his girlfriend Rita (Barbara Knox, 75) who had been seduced by his charms and was close to letting him move in with her.
A Street insider said: “The repercussions of this will destroy families - and friendships"
