Last night we saw Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) discover that Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) stole her money.
Her grandson David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) decided to tell her the truth while the Platt family were away on holiday.
Nick had tried to convince David to take the blame for the fraud after Audrey reported the crime to the police.
Audrey had been led to believe that it was her partner Lewis Archer (Nigel Havers), but David has now told her that Nick was the one that took her money and that he helped Nick to spend it.
Why did Nick Tilsley steal Audrey Roberts money?
Nick stole the money several months ago to help pay off his debts.
After being confronted by his David, Nick said: I was up to my eyes in debt to Elsa, I couldnt risk losing Leanne again. It was a loan.
It was taken from her account while she was grieving the death of Lewis Archer and missed calls from her financial advisor.
