Coronation Street spoilers: Daniel Osbourne to get a ‘surprising’ new love interest in the New Year
The youngest son of Ken Barlow looks set to follow in his dad's footsteps with a saucy new lover
DANIEL Osbourne will get over his broken heart with a "surprising" new love interest.
The waiter - who is played by actor Rob Mallard in the ITV soap - will soon be left utterly heartbroken when ex Sinead Tinker marries Chesney Brown.
But he won't remain too upset for long as show boss Kate Oates has exclusively revealed to The Sun Online.
Teasing the new lover for Daniel, Kate said: "She’s unexpected, I think that people will go, ‘Oh! That’s a slightly crazy pairing!’."
However, Kate did admit that viewers might not be immediately thrilled at the new cobbles couple.
"I don’t want to give too much away," she added.
"It’s more about - it’s one of those slightly unusual dynamics where if you think about it you can see what each of them is getting out of the relationship but on paper you might think ‘oh that’s a surprise’."
But there is some method in the madness and the couple will make sense - eventually.
Kate added: "But I would encourage the viewers who are wrong-footed by it in a way that they are uncomfortable with it, I’d just encourage them to think about what each character might be getting out of this little fling and it will hopefully make more sense."
