Coronation Street has revealed the first details of the drama ahead as warring brothers Nick Tilsley and David Platt face court next week.

David (Jack P Shepherd) and Nick (Ben Price) will finally hear their fates as they face the music for stealing Audrey Roberts' inheritance money.

Upcoming episodes will see Nick seemingly do a shock U-turn for the sake of saving his brotherly relationship with David, promising to tell the truth when they both face court.

Nick has so far refused to accept responsibility for taking Audrey's £80,000 windfall, making out that David was the mastermind behind the crime.
