A sneak peek from Friday night’s Corrie sees Aidan tell a surprised Maria his plans.

Explaining why he was returning it to her, Aidan said: “Well it just feels right that she should have it.”

She replied: “Guess if it helps you move on.”

Aidan and Eva made it to the altar but didn’t manage to go the whole way after his affair with Maria was revealed.

Eva has since given birth to Aidan’s baby, and managed to tell her troubled ex that he is the father, and not Adam, before his death.

Earlier this week the former X Factor winner revealed he had chatted to the show’s producer Kate Oates about whether Aidan would leave a suicide note after taking his life.

They decided he would start to "build up better relationships" with his friends and family in the weeks before his death to show he's a "good guy".

Speaking on This Morning, Shayne said: "We didn't know how to approach the suicide note thing. A lot of people don't leave suicide notes, some people do.

"He gives his dad a golf membership, he made sure everyone got their jobs back at the factory, he gives little Liam his expensive watch.

"Just little things, he was building up better relationships so people could see Aidan was a good guy."

Aidan's body will be discovered by his father Johnny Connor (Richard Hawley) at his Victoria Street flat next week, after the Underworld boss fails to turn up for work at the factory. His suicide will not be shown on screen.
