Coronation Street fans say 'I know it' as they predict when Paul Foreman will die after health 'clue'

Coronation Street fans think they know when Paul Foreman will die after they noticed a 'clue' amid his terminal diagnosis. The character was given the devastating news that he has Motor Neurone Disease, a fatal, rapidly progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, earlier this year.

Former builder Paul only discovered anything was wrong after he was accidentally knocked over by Carla Connor in her Underworld van when she had been unknowingly drugged with LSD by now-deceased serial killer Stephen Reid.

He kept the news from his loved ones, only confiding in his friend and former flatmate Dee-Dee Bailey. The devastating news, however, came spilling out on his sister Gemma Winter's wedding day after his partner Billy Mayhew only made the discovery himself when he headed to court to find out Paul had been stealing cars to fix his money woes, only to have his case quashed due to his life-limiting diagnosis.

And following the soap's latest scenes, viewers think Paul may tragically die over the festive season. In Wednesday night's Corrie, viewers of the ITV soap saw Paul struggling to swallow his drink, seemingly confirming his MND symptoms are developing, but brushed off his coughing as the liquid 'going down the wrong whole'.
