Coronation Street fans think they have rumbled what has really happened to Joel Deering - and they think Dee-Dee Bailey may be right.
As viewers of the ITV soap know, the solicitor has been evading the police ever since the truth about his grooming came to light.
Earlier this year it was revealed that Joel was Lauren Bolton's 'secret boyfriend' and was behind her disappearance and presumed murder after he was seen attacking her with a chair leg.
Luckily, she survived and returned to Weatherfield pregnant with Joel's baby. In the meantime, Dee-Dee has discovered what her fiancé has been up to and has since teamed up with DS Lisa Swain to bring Joel down after it was revealed that Lauren wasn't the only young girl he had groomed.
