CORONATION Street’s Leanne Battersby locks lips with a former flame just days after romping with toyboy lover.
In recent weeks, she has been on a downward spiral after her heartbreak over Nick (Ben Price) and Toyah’s (Georgia Taylor) romance.
On tonight’s episode of Coronation Street, Steve (Simon Gregson) was seen to feel sorry for his former lover.
Leanne (Jan Danson) looked depressed in Roy’s Rolls before he invited her over to number one for a glass of red wine.
After she accepted the invite, the pair reflected on their friendship, and Leanne couldn’t help but get emotional.
She previously became pregnant with his baby after a one-night stand, only for their child Oliver to pass away at the age of three-years old following a mitochondrial disease diagnosis.
Leanne claimed that Steve has been the only one who was truly there for her, as Steve admitted that he was glad she was with Oliver in his final hours.
He admitted: “I couldn’t think of a better person to have a child with. I’ve always been in awe of your strength, I still am.”
She then leant on his shoulder as he held her in a warm and emotional embrace on the long-running ITV soap.
“Don’t start because you will have me going, then I’ll lose my manly cool,” Steve added.
With fire in her eyes, Leanne remarked: “You’ll never lose that,” before she leaned in.
The pair kissed tenderly on the sofa before moving the action upstairs to Steve’s bedroom.

Aaron Sandford (James Craven) was celebrating his stag night at the same nightclub she was attending for a birthday party.
He was revealed to be engaged and set to welcome a baby with his new fiancée, leaving Amy shocked and traumatised.
Steve and Leanne’s liaison comes after Leanne’s surprise romp with hunky toyboy lover Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott).
The surprise love story came out of nowhere as the Weatherfield residents enjoyed a night of passion.
Viewers of the serial drama were left open-mouthed as the show opened to reveal the duo had spent the night together.
This was after she attempted to take revenge on her ex-fiancé Nick and her sister Toyah in the aftermath of their illicit affair by setting them up for fraud.
Viewers also saw Leanne attempt to make a pass at Ronnie Bailey as she got increasingly drunk.
Coronation Street continues on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
