Coronation Street viewers were reeling this week when it was revealed that Spider Nugent is working undercover for the police.
The character, played by Martin Hancock, recently returned to Weatherfield decades after he left with then-girlfriend Toyah Battersby.
Their relationship didn't last and Spider headed off to Peru. However, following the death of her new husband Imran Habeeb, Toyah has found herself back in Spider's arms as he showed her support and offered her comfort as she faces trial for murder.
