Coronation Street: Billy and Paul’s romantic scenes

Recently in Corrie, Billy and Paul attended an appointment with Paul’s speech therapist and received a book.

Paul was advised to record himself reading the book so that his voice could be used to help him talk in the future when it gets harder for him to speak with his real voice.

On the sofa, Billy and Paul cuddled up together whilst topless. Paul then started to read the book aloud to Billy.

However, the conversation soon took a turn as Paul started discussing their sex life.

He revealed that they’d just slept together on the sofa before recording himself saying ‘I love you, Billy.’
