AN ICON After 25 years together, the Coronation Street couple is about to call it quits.
Long-time viewers of the ITV soap opera will be aware that Nick Tilsley and Toyah Battersby have been secretly having an affair, hidden from Leanne.
The pair grew closer as Nick supported Toyah during her germ cell ovarian cancer battle.
It comes as Toyah’s sister Leanne has been charmed by twisted Rowan to join his cult, the the Altovalent Institute.
As she falls deeper and deeper into the scam, now signing Amy Barlow up, she’s been oblivious to fiance Nick’s infidelity.
But in tonight’s episode viewers watched as Nick – played by Ben Price – declared his love for Toyah (Georgia Taylor).
As the pair kissed in the office of the Viaduct, Toyah pushed Nick away, expressing her guilt now that her sister and Nick’s son Sam had returned to the cobbles.
The businessman then told her: “I’m not sure I care, I know that sounds bad, but…”
“She’s my sister Nick, you know carrying on like this behind her back is just,” said Toyah in response.
Nick then vowed to finally call his marriage off to Leanne as a declaration of his love for Toyah.
As she also said I love you, Nick replied: “Then I’ll end it. Might be best, clean break.
“Maybe if we give it a bit of time before we come out with our relationship, I don’t know she might be able to deal with the break up.”
It remains to be seen how Nick breaks the news to Leanne and whether it will push her even closer to Rowan.
Coronation Street fans will know the villain has also blackmailed Nick and Toyah over their affair.
