Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) may be about to ‘confess’ to Joel Deering’s (Calum Lill) murder in Coronation Street, but a big clue has seemingly ruled her out as a suspect.

Earlier this month, the evil abuser’s body was found floating in a river after escaping justice for his heinous crimes, and the pathologist’s report concluded that he had been killed before hitting the water.

Since then, suspicions have risen about who could be responsible, with countless suspects in the frame.

Spoilers for next week’s episodes have already revealed that fans will see a guilt-ridden Dee-Dee finally crack and admit to Ed Bailey (Trevor Michael Georges) that she killed Joel after finding out he was about to do a runner – but there could be more to her confession.

This theory is given further weight when you consider that Coronation Street bosses have chosen to preview her confession in official spoilers ahead of transmission.

With the ‘whodunnit?’ taking centre stage in recent weeks, would the soap really give away the ending to such a big storyline in advance?

Something tells us that there are a few more twists ahead yet!
