Coronation Street's new boss Iain MacLeod has given away some big teasers on Kate Connor and Rana Nazir's wedding.

The popular pair got engaged last month, but Kate's desperation to have a baby has driven a huge wedge between them.

Although Rana called time on her relationship with Kate in yesterday's episode, their fans don't need to worry too much as they won't be apart for long.

Speaking to Digital Spy and other media at a Corrie press event, Iain said: "In the New Year we've got wedding plans booked, dresses are chosen and a nice romantic story where Rana is making Kate's dream outfit behind the scenes without telling her.

"There's also a slightly troublesome, hopefully really funny, and chaotic presence that comes from Kate's past to slightly rain on their parade."

Discussing how the couple find their way back to each other following their recent split, Iain teased: "Two things happen. Rana understands Kate hadn't suddenly become straight and doesn't love her, she was driven by grief.

"I think that's very apparent to how it plays out – at no point did Kate look like she wanted to do that, I found the whole thing – which was deliberate – very hard to watch and tragic really. Rana comes to see what I saw in those scenes – which is it was a desperate, grieving woman nearly making the worst mistake of her life."

He added: "The second thing is someone starts sniffing around Kate romantically [Imogen] and nothing sharpens your view about how much you miss someone than seeing them being courted by someone else.

"It's not a lengthy break, they get back together New Year's Eve, it's sweet and funny and there's some lovely stuff where Rana is getting drunk and drowning her sorrows, it's a bit Bridget Jonesy – warm, fun and the bit where they get back together is really romantic.

"All the Kanavores I hope will punch the air. I love that couple, I think they're very real and an aspirational same-sex couple. I'm looking forward to them getting back together."

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
