A source told the newspaper: “They have just filmed scenes where cops are asking questions about Nick, his whereabouts on the day and involvement in Underworld.

“When the victim’s family ask officers if they think Nick did it as part of a insurance scam, they say they are exploring all lines of enquiry, but keep it vague.

“In recent weeks, Ben filmed scenes where Nick was furious with Carla for trying to oust him out the business, so it could be revenge.”

Ent Daily has contacted Corrie for comment.

Corrie producer Iain Macleod revealed the new villain would cause the death of a beloved character.

In scenes to air in March, the factory collapses in what appears to be an accident – but is, in fact, the result of a criminal enterprise by the new villain.

Iain has said: “We’re designing a character who is more of that latter type, who can stay in the show for ever as an antagonist just messing up everyone’s lives.

“We’re going with this character on this journey.

“You go in seeing their intentions were good but things rapidly snowball.

“By the end of 2019 there will be a new, complicated villainous presence on the cobbles.”
