There's drama heading for Coronation Street tonight as killer Clayton kidnaps his own mum...

There's terror heading for the Platt family in tonight's Coronation Street as Shona Ramsey finds herself confronted by her dangerous son, Clayton Hibbs.

Coronation Street fans will know that Clayton is currently on the run from the police after escaping his prison officer while attending his dad's funeral in Monday night's visit to Weatherfield.

He is currently doing time for killing David's late wife Kylie in cold blood back in 2016.

But tonight will see a new twist in the tale when David throws Shona out of the house after discovering that she attempted to supply Clayton with drugs in jail.

He is even more furious when Shona then confesses someone broke into the house in the dead of night and filmed them while they were sleeping.

Convinced that Shona has bought danger to their door, and terrified that his kids could be targeted next, David doesn't want to hear Shona's excuses and tells her to leave.

But as she gets in the car to drive away from Coronation Street, Shona is left terrified when Clayton climbs into the back and tells her to drive.
