Coronation Street fans have predicted that Sarah and newcomer Kit could become a couple (Image: ITV) Coronation Street 's Sarah Platt (played by Tina O'Brien) was enraged this evening as she set about breaking into villainous Nathan Curtis (Christopher Harper) van. Desperate to protect her daughter Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) after the pimp was released from prison following a conviction for raping her and grooming her for sex work, she explodes with fury. However, eagle-eyed fans believe they've spotted sparks flying in another way too, after commenting that she seems to have an interest in the new policeman on the scene - Bernie Winter's (Jane Hazlegrove) son Kit.

The former Hollyoaks actor, whose real name is Jacob Roberts, is considered quite a heart-throb by fans - and it looks as if Sarah too is falling for his charms as the action heats up on the ITV soap. "We’d never even heard of this long lost son of Bernie’s until 5 minutes ago, and now he’s turning up everywhere ffs #coronationstreet # Corrie ," one fan exclaimed. Meanwhile, scores of fans have taken to Twitter following tonight's show to claim they see potential for a romance between the pair.

"Bernie’s copper son will be the next one in Sarah’s bed!" one fan bluntly predicted. "I can see a romance developing between Kit & Sarah," another agreed. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
