Coronation Street's Ben Price says 'it does my head in' as he admits who Nick 'doesn't like' on cobbles
Coronation Street star Ben Price didn't hold back when he spoke about who his character 'doesn't like' on the cobbles. The actor was discussing Nick Tilsley's latest storyline in which he seems quite unsure about marrying Leanne Battersby - again - despite accepting her recent proposal.
The pair have had an on-and-off romance over the years. Leanne and Nick first married in January 1998. But with it recently being a leap year, Leanne decided to drop to one knee and asked Nick to marry her in a busy Bistro to which he accepted.
