Coronation Street star Chris Gascoyne has admitted that his character Peter Barlow enjoys getting even with wife Leanne at their wedding blessing.

The couple's 'happy day' is expected to descend into chaos in tonight's double bill of the soap as Peter gets his revenge after learning of Leanne's affair with Nick Tilsley.

Full details of what Peter has planned for the day have been kept under wraps, but an explosive showdown is likely to occur at the altar as the Weatherfield bookie lets his feelings of anger pour out.

Discussing what fans can expect from the episodes, Gascoyne told We Love Telly: "I think they can expect the unexpected. Nobody up to that point knows what Peter is going to do. What he does is very painful, but he revels in it."

The actor added that Nick (Ben Price) should be particularly worried in the days ahead as Peter will turn his attentions to him after addressing Leanne's betrayal.

Gascoyne said: "He is livid and feels that Nick has ruined his life. I don't know what Peter will do when he gets hold of him on his own."

Peter and Leanne's wedding blessing airs tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV1.
