Soap fans will see conman Lewis up to his old tricks again when he makes a comeback in scenes currently being filmed.

Nigel has been spotted filming on location with actress Sue Nicholls, who plays Lewis’ old flame Audrey.

But it’s clear Audrey doesn’t want to be seen, as she is hiding behind a headscarf for the secret meeting.

And it’s no wonder Audrey doesn’t want to be seen with him after all his dodgy scams!

Lewis made a brief return to the soap this month, when it was revealed he was working with ‘psychic’ Rosemary Piper to con Gail out of more money.

In hilarious scenes, Roy Cropper turned vigilante detective when he exposed the scam and performed a citizen’s arrest on Lewis.

However Audrey proved she’s still harbouring feelings for her ex, when she allowed him to escape justice.

But he’ll be back!

Before that, Lewis was last seen in 2013.

He arrived as a male escort in 2009 and went on to woo Audrey and steal £40,000 from Gail.

In a recent interview, Nigel said: “You know the plot that they send you is just so brilliant that you just cannot say no.”

Speaking to Zoe Ball on her new ITV show, he added: “That is the thing about Corrie, the plots are just fantastic.”

Audrey’s old friend Claudia Colby (played by Rula Lenska) will also be returning to the cobbles later this year.
