Coronation Street spoiler: Will Nick Tilsley DIE as Ben Price films horrifying accident?
NICK TILSLEY’S Coronation Street exit looks set to be more dramatic than initially expected as actor Ben Price has been snapped filming a freak accident.
Ben Price QUITS Corrie to be with his family
The fan favourite’s life will be left hanging in the balance during a beach break with rivals Peter Barlow (played by Chris Gascoyne) and Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) when the trio escape Weatherfield to resolve their differences.
However, when Nick goes for a walk, he tries to jump from one sandbank to another when he accidentally slips between the two and find himself sinking in the dangerous quick sand.
Spoiler pictures show Nick desperately fighting for survival while Steve and Peter are frantically yelling out for help and taking pictures on their phones.
With Nick’s shock exit imminent, will the soap patriarch be leaving the cobbles in one piece?
I don’t want to know how it ends
Actor Ben Price recently opened up about his decision to quit Coronation Street during an appearance on This Morning.
The 45-year-old broke his silence to hosts Holly Willoughby, 36, and Phillip Schofield, 54, explaining that he needed to leave behind his role as Nick Tilsley in order to spend more time with his family.
“It’s been amazing,” he enthused. “I love the show, the amazing people, and I’ve had extraordinary storylines - it could not have been any better.
“I live 200 miles away, so I see my wife and children on a Saturday and I go back on a Sunday. It took me quite a while to think about it - it was a big decision - but in the end it’s my family and I miss them.”
Ben confessed that even he’s been kept in the dark about Nick’s upcoming exit storyline, but out of his own choice.
“I don’t want to know [how it ends],” he gasped. “Kate [producer Kate Oates] wanted to tell me and I said, ‘Don’t tell me, let’s just see how it rolls out.’
Coronation Street continues tonight at 7.30pm on ITV.
