LOOK OUT, LUKE!
Luke’s been going all Columbo L trying to locate his old pal Andy (who Corrie fans are aware is firmly 12 feet under), but Phelan’s managed to spin a web of lies which has resulted in Andy’s pals thinking he’s happily backpacking, without bothering to tell anyone. Sophie, however, stumbles upon a big clue this week, when she’s rooting around in a drawer at Luke’s flat and comes across a wire model of a house. Luke explains how his old mucker used to make them all the time (random) and, then, what’s this? Another of the little things turns up in the cab office and Eileen explains how she found it in the house Phelan was working on before it “burnt down”. You can almost see the cogs in Luke’s brain ticking over as he works out how his mate is probably not gallivanting about with a backpack after all, but actually something fishy is going on. Off Luke goes to have it out with Phelan and, well, we won’t give anything away other than to say OMG, and don’t miss the episode on 5 Jan! In other news, it’s Chesney and Sinead’s stag/ hen dos (we’re sure it will become obvious why Chesney has come as The Hulk). Ches and Daniel go head to head once more, and Ches ends up making a massive pillock of himself. Plus, Steve and Tracy are still going around like love’s young dream. Just weird!

Looking at some of the most famous diets in the world, Josie Gibson tries out the “highfat ketogenic diet,” so we don’t have to. She gives it her all – but will the regime that pushes her to want to kill a chicken be worth it? Meanwhile, we find out whether fat really is the enemy and what happens when you take diet pills (clue: this doesn’t end well).
