At the time, Tom fled the village after landing himself in trouble while he was dating Belle Dingle - only for it all to end in tears.

Around 10 years on, the exes come face-to-face again next week and are stunned to be reconnected with each other.

That's not all though, as spoilers heavily hint Nicky is hiding something and has another big secret to drop, ahead of a familiar face from his past entering the show.
Spoilers confirm that Nicky goes AWOL, and Caleb is forced to confront him about his disappearing act.
