Aidan thumps Adam in Coronation Street!

What will happen when angry Aidan lashes out in lover Maria's defence?

Aidan and Maria's passionate trysts weren't supposed to lead to anything serious, but it seems the factory boss has it bad for the hairdresser when he flies into a jealous rage at Adam Barlow this week... and in public too! Will Maria find out how Aidan really feels, as a result?

Aidan lashes out at Adam Barlow in the Rovers, but why?

After Kirk found out Maria got drunk in the flat with Adam, resulting in a scare with young Liam, he's not happy with the Barlow lad's bad influence...

Adam doesn't react kindly to vocal Kirk's criticism in the Rovers and makes a less than kind remark about his sister, Maria...

As Kirk lunges for Adam, Aidan steps in…

Fuming Aidan then proceeds to punch Adam in front of everyone!

When Maria later turns up in the Rovers, will she find out the lengths lovelorn Aidan went to to defend her honour? Watch Coronation Street on ITV from Monday, December 19
