Coronation Street will reportedly feature two sham marriages as part of an upcoming plot.

Graeme Proctor (Craig Gazey) will wed girlfriend Tina McIntyre's (Michelle Keegan) Chinese friend Xin so that she can stay in the country when her student visa runs out - risking going back to jail in the process.

The fake couple will bribe David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) and Kylie Turner (Paula Lane) into letting them share their wedding day, but Kylie is only marrying David in the hope of getting Audrey's hair salon, according to the News of the World.

Graeme and Tina stage a break-up and Xin (Elizabeth Tan) moves into their flat. However, despite being Tina's idea, the lies push the couple apart and Graeme leaves Weatherfield later this year.

He tells Tina: "I can't believe what we've got ourselves into. I could get seven years in jail for doing this." She tells him: "When the dust settles we'll find a way out."

A source said: "Things get messy. Corrie fans love Graeme and Tina together. But the lies eventually split them up. And whether or not he is found out and sent to jail, Graeme will leave Corrie very soon."

Gazey announced his exit from the show earlier this month.
