CORONATION Street’s Robert Preston is in for a surprise when he is attacked by Jed, Vicky Jefferies ex-husband, in scenes set to air in the coming weeks.
The pair were spotted on location filming the storyline, which saw newcomer Jed violently confronting Robert (played by Tristan Gemmill) after he smashed his van’s window.
In the dramatic scenes, the Bistro boss, who recently learned his mistress Vicky was pregnant, returned to his vehicle to find it ransacked.
Frantically searching for a ring, which he collected from Vicky (played by Kerri Quinn), Robert turned to find Jed holding the jewellery before the nasty ex slammed him up against the van’s door.
Jed will make his mark on the Cobbles later this year as he tries to get back into Vicky’s life, though it remains to be seen whether he learns of her explosive pregnancy.
The scenes come after the restaurant owner is setting himself up to be the most unpopular man on the cobbles now he’s engaged to the love of his life, Michelle Connor.
Earlier this week, Corrie fans watched as Vicky’s son, Tyler, attacked Robert and accused him of humping and dumping his mum, then leaving her knocked up before running back to Michelle – who is played by departing star Kym Marsh.
Vicky’s pregnancy news left Robert stunned, especially given that for the past year all he has wanted is to have a child of his own.
But instead of coming clean to Michelle – who he’s recently reunited with after breaking up over his longing to be a dad – Robert decided to throw her a surprise engagement.
The restaurant owner also passed his bruises off as a random mugging.
In upcoming episodes, an excited Michelle will meet with vicar Billy Mayhew to chat about all things wedding.
Robert is supposed to join them and Michelle is left rattled when he doesn’t turn up.

She’s even crosser when it turns out he wasn’t visiting one of the young offenders like he told her – although Vicky probably was one at some point.
When Michelle pulls him up on his lies, Robert digs an even deeper hole for himself and says he was at a travel agents making plans for a secret honeymoon.
Let’s face it, there’s no way living a double life will work out for Robert – Tristan, who like his onscreen fiancé is also quitting the cobbles.
