Coronation Street fans were thrilled after evil Nathan Curtis was found guilty tonight.
Nathan has been standing trial from grooming Bethany Platt over the last few episode, but had previously assumed he would be cleared at the end of the case.

She added:
“They thought they could do whatever they wanted to us, that we would be too scared to do anything but they were wrong.”
But things got even worse for the young girl on tonight’s episode when pal Craig Tinker entered the witness box.
The barristers defending Nathan & Co did their best to try and paint the trainee policeman in a bad light.
YES! Go on Craig, you tell them! ?#Corrie #Bethany #Nathan #Neil pic.twitter.com/ZfQirc4tSu
