Just when you thought that David Platt was a nice boy really, he is on the brink of yet another hate campaign. Who knows who he’ll push down the stairs this time!

In coming weeks, all the tension leading up to the court case between David Platt and Gary Windass is enough to force David and Tina apart. So she ends up moving on to a new boyfriend and after Jason had his heart broken by Becky and Steve he’s only too happy to move on in the arms of Tina McIntyre.

The ITV1 insider told The Sun: “Jason’s still heartbroken after Becky broke off their engagement, so he and Tina are a shoulder for each other to cry on.

“David is devastated. But it’s not long before it turns to fury.”

He tells pal Darryl after finding out: “I felt like machine gunning everyone.

“I could have happily mown them all down, except Tina.”

The source added: “David is a troubled man and losing his girlfriend to his sister’s husband sends him over the edge.

“He mounts a terrible hate campaign.”
