As groomer Megan is finally exposed, spoilers see the Driscolls desperately search for evidence to get her sent to prison
Megan's lies weren't believed
In tonight’s episode of Coronation Street (Tuesday, March 17), Sam Blakeman finally exposed Megan Walsh’s grooming secret to Leanne and Eva.
Unable to carry the information alone, Sam decided to confide in his family all that he knew.
This caused huge fireworks as the sisters then joined Toyah in confronting groomer Megan. And, the fallout doesn’t just stop there.
Megan’s grooming secret exposed in Coronation Street
Tensions were sky-high at the hospital as Nick, Leanne and Toyah gathered around Sam, desperate to figure out what had really been eating away at him. They could all tell this went far deeper than school stress, no matter how much Sam tried to brush it off.
Eventually, Leanne managed to get Sam on his own, gently encouraging him to open up. After a long pause, he finally admitted the truth – his distress was all tied up with Megan and Will. But just as he started to explain, in walked Eva, instantly changing the mood.
With no way out, Sam bravely told the whole story again, this time in front of her too. He revealed that Megan and Will had been secretly involved and that he’d tried to catch them out by hiding a camera in the flat. But things took a darker turn when he explained Megan had threatened him – warning she’d expose him as some kind of ‘peeping Tom’ if he dared reveal her behaviour.
Eva initially struggled to believe what she was hearing, convinced Sam had got the wrong end of the stick. But Leanne stood firm, insisting Sam wouldn’t lie about something so serious.
Later, at the pub, Leanne, Toyah and Eva confronted Megan head-on. Thinking quickly, Megan spun her own version of events, claiming Will had a crush on her and tried to kiss her, and she’d only snapped at Sam to protect her reputation.
Eva appeared to accept her explanation and let her leave – but it was all a front. As Megan rushed off to update Will, convinced she’d smoothed things over, Eva was quietly seething, more determined than ever to see justice done.
Coronation Street spoilers reveal Megan’s upper hand in Driscoll takedown attempt
Coronation Street spoilers for next week reveal that the Driscolls are desperate to find evidence to get Megan locked up. However, it’s Megan who is the smug one as the family struggles to find what they need against her.
The drama ramps up as Megan swans around with a growing sense of victory, convinced she’s completely in the clear. When Ben gathers the family to discuss her refusal to take a DNA test over the baby, sparks fly almost instantly. Will jumps in to defend Megan, while Maggie’s patience snaps, turning the room into a full-blown shouting match.
Hoping to get through to him, Ben later nudges Will into attending a counselling session, but it doesn’t bring the breakthrough he’d hoped for. Instead, Kit drops a bombshell – forensic checks on both Will and Megan’s phones have turned up absolutely nothing suspicious. Megan’s smug confidence hits new heights, knowing there’s no hard evidence to pin anything on her.
While Daniel urges Sam to speak to the police, Hope plants seeds of doubt, leaving him torn. Meanwhile, Ben confesses his regrets, but Megan remains one step ahead – and she knows it.

Here is everything you need to know about the influencer ahead of his BBC debut.

What is George Clarke famous for?
George Clarke was born on December 3rd 1999, and is one of this series' youngest contestants – at just 25 years old. He is just two years older than fellow Strictly star and activist, Ellie Goldstein.
Growing up in Bristol with his older sister Emily, the podcaster had a very different career planned and initially studied Exercise and Sports Science at the University of Exeter.
However, his life was changed forever when he began posting gaming and reaction videos on TikTok and YouTube. His hobby has now become a full-time career, with George working with YouTube mega-stars such as the Sidemen.
How many followers does George Clarke have?
George’s big break came in 2019, when he began posting on TikTok, under the name @georgeclarkeey, whilst at university. As he shared his love of gaming, entertainment and hilarious reaction videos, it wasn’t long until he gained an impressive following.
Currently, the content creator has over 2.3 million followers on the social media app.
This isn’t the only place where George has found a following, though, as his YouTube channel has a staggering 48 million views to date. Posting under the name @georgeclarkey, the influencer has over 614,000 subscribers who regularly watch his reaction videos – including a recent clip of him laughing at Strictly fails. (Hopefully, that doesn't come back to haunt him.)
George is also co-host of The Useless Hotline Podcast, which began in 2022. The tongue-in-cheek pod sees him and fellow influencer Max Balegde answer listeners’ dilemmas, no matter how small or weird.
With guest stars including Katherine Ryan and Jojo Siwa, the podcast is hilarious, and we will be binging every episode before Strictly starts.
How did George Clarke meet the Sidemen?
With millions watching his videos, it is no surprise that George caught the eye of other influencers as well.
Surprisingly, though, it was a face-to-face meeting that finally brought George and the Sidemen together. The 25-year-old was selected to play in Sidemen’s 2025 charity football alongside founder members KSI and Miniminter.
Playing in front of 90,000 fans at the iconic Wembley Stadium, it seems that the YouTuber was just as impressive in person. Though his team lost by a single penalty, George now regularly appears in Sidemen videos
It is clear that the influencer has a sporty side though, and he should be able to use this to his advantage on the dance floor. Unsurprisingly, betting site Oddschecker are already anticipating that George will do well on Strictly – with 9/1 odds that he will win the series.
Is George Clarke related to Amazing Space’s George Clarke?
Having spotted a George Clarke among this year’s Strictly stars, fans would be forgiven for wondering whether he was related to the presenter. Many even question whether the duo could be father and son.
Sadly, the influencer only shares his name with The Restoration Man and Amazing Spaces presenter.
The 25-year-old does have a surprising connection to one of the UK’s most beloved film franchises.
George’s dad is Sean Clarke, who is the current managing director of Aardman Animations – the studio behind Wallace and Gromit. The influencer’s dad has been with the firm since 1998 and oversees Aardman’s most iconic characters, including Shaun the Sheep.
This has undoubtedly influenced George, who even named his pet mouse Gromit after the studio’s debut character.
However, this isn't George’s only claim to fame.
Who is George Clarke dating?
In a recent episode of The Useless Podcast, George finally went public with his girlfriend Yasmin Amelia.
It seems Yasmin has also built a name for herself in the entertainment industry, as she has over 35,000 followers on Instagram. In addition to this, the influencer is also represented by J'adore Models.
Despite both being in the public eye, little is known about their relationship.
Though George has previously dodged questions about his love life, the 25-year-old said he wanted to stop any speculation
He told fans: "That's part of the reason why we wanted to say something. Because the two options were, say something. You have full control over how it comes out."
"Whatever you say is basically how people find out, or it stays private. [It] just sort of takes all the control out of your hands. But then, I [will] just go on stream after that and be like, that's not true, by the way. But, yeah, she's my girlfriend."
The YouTuber went on to confirm that he’d been in a relationship for a little over a month with Yasmin. Don’t expect videos of the loved-up couple on social media, though, as George prefers to keep his relationship private.
He stated: "I've always said I don't want it to be, if I did have a relationship, I wouldn't want it to be a public thing. But I feel like it's just a nicer feeling to have it be known and be private. As opposed to it being a complete secret."
After learning more about his partner, Strictly fans are now wondering who George will be paired with on the dancefloor.

Who is George Clark dancing with?
With George now a frontrunner for the glitterball trophy, many fans are curious about which professional dancer he will be paired with.
While the BBC has yet to make an announcement, it is thought that the YouTuber may waltz away with one of Strictly’s newest professionals: Alexis Warr.
The US dancer rose to fame after winning So You Think You Can Dance in 2022 and has also appeared on the US Dancing with the Stars.
Further fuel was added to the rumour, as her name appeared along with George’s after a reported leak about this year's couples.
Though has been circulated on the Strictly Spoiler website, the BBC have yet to give a comment about this year's couples.
We will just have to wait until the launch show to find out.
Strictly Come Dancing returns on September 20 at 6:40 pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
