They have been trying to avoid their feelings for weeks, and were almost caught in a romantic tryst in November when the pair shared their first kiss.

But it seems Coronation Street's Kate Connor and Rana Nazir were unable to contain their emotions any longer, with the pair's feelings finally boiling over in a steamy sex scene on Friday.

Fans took to Twitter in delight that the pair had finally embraced their love for each other, though their passion was short-lived as they were caught in the act by their friend Luke.
