THE moment that Sarah Platt confronts Gary Windass about murdering Rick Neelan has been revealed in a sneak peek at Wednesday night's episode.

Sarah grew suspicious of her ex's involvement in the former loan shark's disappearance when Rick's engraved watch was found in the woods.

In the preview, Sarah bravely confronts the Weatherfield villain outside his van, in the rain - with Gary initially attempting to dismiss the watch.

Sarah then threatens to track down Rick's widowed wife, with Gary turning as he warns: "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Unwavering, Sarah continues: "You have to ask yourself don't you Gary, the woods - what's Rick Neelam's watching doing there?

"Is Rick Neelan buried in those woods?"

Looking sheepish, Gary refuses to break as he hits back: "You're off your head, you know that?"

Continuing, Sarah says: "Gary, I could always tell when you were lying - was Adam right?

"Did you kill Rick?"

The preview ends before Gary replies, but it was previously revealed that Gary will confess everything to Sarah - telling her that he did it to save her and the kids because he never stopped loving her.

The shock scenes will lead to Coronation Street's first socially-distanced stunt, with Gary pushing Sarah out of the way of a speeding car as she runs away from him.

Photos of the star filming with a dummy were previously released, with the actors unable to get too close to each other for filming.

Mikey North who plays Gary appeared on Loose Women earlier today, where he admitted that he enjoys playing a killer much more than a regular Joe.

He said: "It's way more interesting to go to work every day and play a murderer than it is just ordering a pint in the Rovers."

Mikey added of the stunt: "We used a dummy in place of Sarah's character so I was working with a dummy for the whole thing and that's no substitution for the real thing."
