David's girlfriend in Corrie pregnancy plot

David Platt’s new girlfriend is to reveal she is pregnant in Coronation Street.

Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) confides her secret to Gail (Helen Worth), but admits that she is not sure whether the baby is David's (Jack P Shepherd) or a previous lover called Matthew.

Gail raises the possibility of an abortion, telling Tina: "I’m not trying to tell you what to do, and you’re completely within your rights to tell David about the baby.

“If you do, I’ll support you. But I have to tell you, I worry about what it will do to him. And if he hears about a termination, I fear for his mental health.”

Gail's daughter Sarah (Tina O'Brien) gave birth to daughter Bethany at the age of 13.

A Street insider said: “[Tina] believes in her heart of hearts that David could be the dad­ but she’s frightened about what his reaction is going to be.”

The 20-year-old actress recently vowed to continue attending drama school despite landing a role in the ITV1 soap.
