Anna, who was burnt after David’s bomb plot backfired, has been struggling financially ever since and feeling guilty he gives her the windfall after a salon client leaves him money in her will.

A source said: “David is going to discover a client of his at the salon has left him £20k in her will.

“But things get even more complicated when Shona overhears him discussing giving it to Anna during a conversation with Gail.

“He talks candidly about his involvement with Anna’s injuries and it could provide brilliant ammunition.”

Anna was tempted to sue David Platt in January after she suffered horrific burns when his plot to blow up the courthouse went wrong.

David, played by Jack P Shepherd, blew himself up in a bid to kill Clayton as part of a revenge murder storyline.

The awful incident came just hours after a deliriously happy Anna agreed to move in with boyfriend Kevin and take their relationship to the next level.

But all that was undone by David Platt’s revenge murder fantasy.

After escaping from the cellar in the Bistro and making his way to the car he bought to carry out his suicidal murder mission to kill his wife Kylie’s murderer, he covered himself and the car in petrol to stop his family from stopping him.

As he careered down the cobbles, lighter still in hand, his speed picked up and he spotted Lily too late to stop.

Desperately swerving to avoid his daughter, David flipped the car, and with Gary Windass running into the road to try to save Lily, he hit both of them and became trapped under the car.

Fans couldn’t believe what had happened, with one fan writing: “Corrie almost gave me a heart attack tonight! So much drama!”

Another added: “Wow, anyone watching  ? May have just watched one of the best bits of soap opera filming ever!”
