CORONATION Street fans are in shock as Ken Barlow was dumped – and both his lovers decided to move to Hull without him.
The octogenarian lothario – who is played by actor William Roache in the ITV soap – has been stunned by two of his ex affair partners walked back into his life.
Wendy Crozier returned over the summer and the pair reunited for a short-lived romance.
However Wendy called time on it, insisting it could never work between them.
Ken wasn’t too upset as tug-boat owner Martha, the amateur actress, walked back into his life and he fell for her again.
He let her believe that he had dumped Wendy for her, and would be joining her for a new life in Hull where she had just landed another acting role.
But tonight Ken’s house of cards came tumbling down as the two women came face to face.
As Martha learned the truth about what happened with Ken and Wendy, she was furious.
And she wasted no time in humiliating him during the play performance – and ending their revived romance for good.
In true Ken Barlow style, he then tried to get back with Wendy by inviting her to the pub to apologise – to then ask her out again.
But she had a shock for him – she had already moved on.
“Oh Ken, you never stop trying do you,” she told him.
“It’s over. I’ve moved on. You should too.”
And at that moment Martha walked in to tell her new ‘friend’: “Taxi’s here.”
Wendy added: “I’m going to Hull for a bit, to help out my new friend with her play.”
Fans are in shock at the scenes.
One wrote: “No Hull for you Ken!”
A second said: “Looks like the ship has sailed with Ken and Martha then.”
Another added: “Who knew Ken Barlow was the Hugh Hefner of Coronation Street.”
