Coronation Street fans are desperate to know who Lauren Bolton’s secret boyfriend is, with him tipped to be an existing character.
With things getting quite dark for teen Lauren, there’s been a number of clues as to who the mystery man is. In recent months Lauren has been seen to come into some money every now and again, while she’s also been given some flashy gifts.
When asked about the money, Lauren claimed she had a boyfriend and he was treating her, with her seen going on dates. But it’s revealed this week that Lauren has been hiding something huge from her loved ones, with her secretly having an O-Vidz account.
Lauren has been uploading videos for her subscribers on the adult content site, and it seems one subscriber is now harassing her. From unwanted gifts to messages and constant phone calls, they will not leave her alone.
Lauren has been seen tearful as she begs the mystery person to leave her alone, but they are continuing to harass her. The actress who plays Lauren, Cait Fitton, recently revealed to The Mirror that there was danger ahead for Lauren involving the mystery ex.
It seems there’s more to come from the storyline with his identity soon to be revealed. But who is he and is he already on the ITV soap? Here are the top theories from viewers as to who Lauren’s ex-boyfriend is.
Tommy Orpington

A number of viewers are convinced returned character Tommy Orpington could be the man linked to Lauren. Tommy becoming a regular character on the show seemed to happen around the time Lauren’s storyline escalated.
He’s currently having an affair with Tracy Barlow, but could he also be seeing Lauren after the teen was seen wearing a Weatherfield County FC jacket, which happens to be the football team he played for? Then there’s the huge bouquet of flowers she received, with Tommy spending a lot of time in the florist a the moment.
Nathan Curtis

A new theory on who might be Lauren’s ex could see a former villain return to the soap, and it would certainly tie in to the danger twist. Viewers are starting to speculate whether rapist Nathan Curtis is heading back to the show, possibly leaving prison.
Nathan groomed and sexually abused Bethany Platt on the soap in 2017, with him revealed to be part of a child sex grooming gang. Viewers are now fearing teen Lauren may be being harassed by Nathan, and that he may return to the show ahead of a huge new storyline for Bethany.
Rob Donovan
Viewers are speculating Carla Connor’s killer brother Rob Donovan might be returning to the show and could be Lauren’s mystery fella. This is because of her growing bond to Rob’s son Bobby, with Bobby finding out this week what his father was really like.
The true details about Tina McIntyre’s death at the hands of Rob left son Bobby reeling, and turning to his pals for comfort. Since then he and Lauren have grown close, and now fans think it’s no coincidence that Rob has been mentioned the same week that Bobby is trying to help Lauren amid her troubles with her mystery ex – so is Rob heading back to Weatherfield?
Joel Deering
Newcomer Joel is another name, amid his big secret being exposed. It’s been confirmed he’s been living a secret life away from partner Dee-Dee Bailey with the truth finally coming out next week.
But if he’s lied about this, what else could he be hiding amid fans believing he’s up to no good? Some viewers are speculating he could be the man who has been harassing Lauren! He certainly seems to have the money for all the expensive gifts and payments.
