Jane continued: “Leanne still likes him [Peter Barlow] a bit though if she’s honest. He’s the Battersby side of her that kind of intrigues her.

“It’s safe with Nick and it’s all lovely, but there’s an element of danger with Pete and she quite likes that.”

Even Leanne's son Simon seems happy that she is back with Nick

Speaking about teen Simon’s reaction to her reuniting with her first love Nick, she said: “He’s just pleased because he has always wanted the same thing that Leanne has wanted, a bit of stability – he has always wanted a family unit.

“He loves Nick because his family’s always coming and going. But again because Peter’s coming back that could fracture this family unit that we’ve got going on.”

The 37-year-old concluded: “It’s very exciting.”
