Coronation Street fans DIVIDED after THIS heartbreaking scene last night

Coronation Street fans have found themselves torn between Gary Windass and Sarah Platt as the pair split...

Last night's Coronation Street saw Sarah Platt finally ditch Gary Windass over his loan shark lies...  but while some fans think their split was a long time coming, others are sad to see the couple go their separate ways.

Gary has been lying to Sarah for weeks about his financial woes, and while he has been desperately trying to pay off dangerous loan shark Rick, he's also been trying to protect Sarah and Harry from the villain.

But when Rick decided Gary could pay back his money by working for him as a debt collector, Sarah realised he was up to no good after seeing him heading to work in a suit.

Rick has been making Gary do his dirty work for him...

As the penny finally dropped for Sarah, Gary was forced to come clean about the extent of his troubles... and she was fuming that she'd been kept in the dark for so long.

Eventually Sarah saw red when she discovered the true identity of Gary's loan shark, realising it was the man who'd been invited into their house and played with her son.

With this latest revelation soon becoming the final straw, Sarah packed Gary's belongings, and finally threw him out.
