BRADFORD actress Rachel Leskovac has given viewers a re-cap on her Coronation Street character ahead of her return to the soap tonight.

Rachel first appeared in Corrie 10 years ago as Nick’s girlfriend, Natasha Blakeman. She left a heartbroken Nick behind in Weatherfield - but a chance encounter with him puts extra strain on his already fragile relationship with Leanne Battersby.

The couple are struggling with the devastating diagnosis of a terminal condition for Leanne’s young son Oliver, and Nick has been finding it hard to know how to help Leanne. As Oliver’s stepdad, he feels increasingly sidelined as Leanne and Steve, Oliver’s father, are forced to make difficult decisions about the youngster’s treatment.

On a visit to the hospital in the early autumn Nick is surprised to see his ex, Natasha, and the pair catch up on news of the past decade.

Rachel will be back on the ITV soap in an hour-long episode from 7.30pm.
