The couple’s relationship has been on the rocks ever since Michelle (Kym Marsh) admitted to cheating on Steve (Simon Gregson) with her first love Will (Leon Ockenden).

The drama meant that his daughter Amy, who has been staying with them after falling out with her mum Tracey Barlow (Kate Ford), now feels unwelcome in their home. Michelle made the selfless decision to leave for Amy’s sake.

Fans were anguished that Michelle left – even though Steve asked her to stay and work it out.

Aye but why did Michelle leave the Rovers regardless of the fact that Steve was asking her not to, haaaa💔
