Nick was last seen on screens saying goodbye to mum Gail Platt in June 2017.

It saw him drive off into the sunset after telling her he needed "a reboot" in the wake of his near-death beach quicksand experience.

A Corrie source said at the time: "Exactly how Nick will be brought back into the fray is still to be decided.

“But the Platts, and in particular Nick, are a massive part of the Corrie family and always at the heart of some of the show’s biggest storylines.

The businessman, who owned Nick's Bistro, was eight when his father Brian Tilsley was murdered.

Last year rebellious Leanne begged him to stay in Weatherfield, but despite Nick telling her she deserved better, Gail blamed her for his departure.

Ben, 46, has also appeared in Footballer's Wives and Casualty.
