David Platt's secret is at risk of being exposed in upcoming Coronation Street scenes, after his wife Shona visits Clayton in hospital.
Shona's dangerous son Clayton recently returned to the soap, still imprisoned after killing David's first wife Kylie in 2016.
After secretly reading emails and letters from the prison regarding Clayton, David visited Clayton and told him that Shona wants nothing to do with him in an attempt to block them from seeing each other.

Shona was later informed that Clayton had been admitted to hospital after attempting to take his own life.
In scenes set to air on the ITV soap next week, Shona is annoyed by David's unsympathetic response when she admits how desperately she wants to see Clayton, who's refusing to see her after David's intervention.
However, Shona soon tells David that she's going to visit Clayton with or without his permission.
In the hospital, Shona finds Clayton handcuffed to a prison guard and approaches his bed, determined to see her son. Will Clayton expose David's deception to Shona?
Julia Goulding, who plays Shona, recently warned that there could be major repercussions for Shona and David's marriage if she finds out that he played a role in blocking her access to her son.
"Jack [P Shepherd, who plays David] and I are very much on our own characters' sides in this. We've had barneys in the green room about who's right," she said.
"When Shona finds out her husband has been gaslighting her and had a part in Clayton trying to take his own life, I dread to think what she's going to do. But I don't think she'll take it lying down."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
