Poor Tyrone’s world is turned upside down when he finds out the violent mum of his child is free. And to make matters worse, the Weatherfield mechanic starts getting sinister text messages from her.

Tyrone, played by Alan Halsall, 31, is so scared he decides to turn his house into Fort Knox.

Fans will see him beg local builder Owen Armstrong (Ian Puleston-Davies, 55) to boost security.

He tells him: “I need some work doing urgently – new locks, bolts on the front and back door and a good burglar alarm.

“I’ve had a call – Kirsty’s been released.

“No conditions, no warnings, she can just turn up at any time, which is why I need this doing urgently.”

Tyrone’s fears are realised when he’s bombarded with text messages signed off with the letter K. He is convinced they are coming from Kirsty (Natalie Gumede, 29).

He tells Fiz: “She’s texting again. She said: ‘Thinking of you.’”

Fiz instantly hits back: “Right, well we need to phone the police. What happens if these texts turn into ‘I want my daughter, I’m coming to get you’?”

But Tyrone shows he is still scared of Kirsty when he replies: “We can’t, what if she finds out? She’ll be furious. She was a cop, she’s probably still got contacts.”

Fans will see Fiz (Jennie McAlpine, 30) get so angry she calls the mobile number and screams: “Listen here you twisted cow, I don’t know what mind games you think you’re playing but this has got to stop.”

But a show insider teased: “It’s true Kirsty has been released.

“But is she the one sending the texts, or is it someone else who’s a little closer to home?
