Coronation Street legend Les Battersby will be killed-off on the soap next week leaving his children devastated. Les, who hasn’t appeared in the ITV soap since 2007, will die off-screen after a work accident.

Les’ fate was rumoured back in October, but has been confirmed in recent storylines. Next week, Nick Tilsley (Ben Price), prepares to come clean to Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) about his affair with Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor).

But before Nick can break the news, the police arrive and will explain that Leanne’s dad, Les, has died at work. Leanne will be left utterly shocked and will head to find her sister to tell her the news, however Nick shall quickly call Toyah to give her warning.

Leanne and Toyah seem to bond over their grief for Les, but Leanne will be confused when it becomes apparent that Toyah already knew he’d died.
