ITV Corrie fans disagree as BBC Strictly star Will Mellor returns to the soap as villain Harvey Gaskell

Coronation Street saw the return of Strictly Come Dancing star Will Mellor as soap villain Harvey Gaskell in chilling scenes. In Monday night's episode (October 17) Leanne Battersby visited drugs lord Harvey in prison after she and partner Nick Tilsley received visiting orders.

A year ago Harvey shot and killed Natasha Blakeman, the mother of Nick's 11-year-old son Sam, believing her to be Leanne. In a case of mistaken identity, after escaping from a prison van to seek revenge, Harvey gunned down Natasha in Leanne and Nick's flat.

Harvey terrorised Leanne after she helped police to expose his gang in order to protect her son Simon Barlow who was working for him. As Nick and Sam prepared to mark the anniversary of Natasha’s death, Leanne said she was going to the cash and carry.
