Craig Smith was a pupil at Weatherfield Comprehensive in 2000 who found out about Sarah Louise Platt's pregnancy when news of it spread around the school. Candice Stowe had inadvertently revealed Sarah-Lou's pregnancy after defending her against Kirsten Grant who was accusing Sarah of getting fat.
Craig's younger cousin Macca was at Bessie Street School with Sarah's brother David and when Craig spread the news to the younger lads in the park and accused Sarah of being a slag, David started a fight with them. When David returned home, his parents were forced to admit to him that Sarah was pregnant.
