Tim Metcalfe is going to suffer a heart attack in Coronation Street.
His wife Sally will be left reeling by the shocking event.
That’s according to the Daily Star Sunday who say the heart attack will only be the beginning of his problems.
Realising his sedentary lifestyle and diet have been a contributing factor to his health woes, Sally decides to overhaul his life.
She’s going to be desperate to make sure the two of them grow old together – no matter what.

A source told the newspaper: “Sally is beside herself when Tim has a heart attack.
“They have been through so much and are finally looking forward to their future together when she realises she could’ve lost him.
“It’s a real wake-up call for her. And Sally, being Sally, takes charge by putting him on a strict diet and devises a fitness plan.”
Soap bosses are working closely with the British Heart Foundation to get the story right.
The couple have faced their fair share of challenges over recent years with Sally only recently being released from prison for a crime she didn’t commit.
She was banged up after being framed for fraud by conman Duncan, but she came out of it with her humour intact.
On Friday night she had Corrie viewers in hysterics with an unintentional smutty comment.
While defending herself for turning on her own boss Carla Connor to make sure Abi Franklin didn’t go down for burning Peter Barlow’s boat, Sally uttered a line of comedy gold.
She said: “I will not see a woman fingered for a crime she didn’t commit.”

Actress Sally Dynevor delivered the line with a straight face despite it’s obvious double meaning and predictably fans were bent double laughing.
One said: “Christ on a bike, #coronationstreet is riddled with innuendo this evening!”
A second said: “#coronationstreet pulling out all the stops in the fnar fnar stakes tonight.”
Another said: @itvcorrie omg nearly spat my brew out at sally ‘Don’t want the wrong woman fingering for a crime she didn’t commit.”
