Coronation Street’s Jackson attempts to expose his secret kiss with Faye

Jackson Hodge attempted to expose his secret kiss with Faye Windass after she accepted Craig Tinker’s shock proposal during Friday’s Coronation Street.

The character, played by Ellie Leach, was taken aback when her beau (Colson Smith) got down on one knee in front of her loved ones, but not for the reason’s he had hoped for. 

Viewers of the ITV soap know that Faye has been meeting up with her ex Jackson, who recently returned to Weatherfield alongside their daughter Miley.

And the truth almost came to light as Jackson attempted to expose her lies, telling Craig that he’d been seeing his new fiancée behind his back. 

Earlier in episode, Craig invited Jackson to the proposal at Victoria Street gardens, as he declared his undying love for Faye while Glenda Shuttleworth belted out a ballad.

Angry and confused by Faye’s response, jealous Jackson later chased down Craig and declared that he had shared a passionate kiss with his wife-to-be. 

‘We’ve been meeting up behind your back,’ he shouted.  

‘She’s thinking of moving away with me and Miley to Slough!’ 

Craig was left reeling at the news as he went to confront Faye and ask for the truth.  

‘I ran into Jackson earlier and he had some things to say for himself, apparently you don’t want to marry me. You need to tell me the truth or we are done!’ 

Covering up the kiss, Faye responded: ‘It’s like I said, I bumped into Jackson on the way back, nothing more. He’s talking out of his backside. 

‘He sprung Slough on me earlier. I turned him down. I told him that all we are is co-parents to Miley, I know what I want in my life is you, Craig.’ 

Faye was seen confiding in Michael Bailey, as she confessed that despite accepting the proposal she was conflicted after kissing Jackson.

Earlier episodes saw Faye and Jackson arrange to meet in town for a drink after his interview, but instead of telling Craig the truth, she lied and told him she’s meeting a girlfriend.

Faye’s turmoil comes amid news that Ellie Leach, 22, is reportedly set to leave the ITV show in July this year. 

The actress first stepped foot onto the cobbles as a wide-eyed nine-year-old back in 2011, playing the adopted daughter of Eddie and Anna Windass. 

Her character is said to have been ‘written out’, with Ellie grateful that Faye will not be ‘killed off.’
