Steve and Tracy got married for the first time in 2012. Steve’s long list of wives are Vicky Arden (1995-1997), Karen Phillips (2001-2003 and 2004-2006), Becky Granger (2009-2011), Michelle Connor (2015-17) and Tracy of course!

The unfortunate thing for actor Simon Gregson, who plays Steve, is that he’s not that keen on filming weddings! Talking about Steve’s last wedding to Tracy, he said: “Well this is his seventh wedding but only his fifth wife as he married Karen and Tracy twice. The irony is I hate filming weddings! It is a nightmare as they take days out on location and have a cast of thousands."

Tune in to Coronation Street next week to find out if Tracy says yes.
