Corrie's Becky 'to have surprise one-night stand'

Coronation Street hellraiser Becky McDonald has been tipped to sleep with businessman Nick Tilsley in a forthcoming storyline twist.

The fiery blonde, played by departing actress Katherine Kelly, jumps into bed with Nick (Ben Price) in the coming weeks after failing to reunite with husband Steve, according to the Daily Star.

It is thought that Becky only goes ahead with the fling in a bid to make Steve (Simon Gregson) jealous following their recent problems.

However, the plan is expected to backfire badly when it pushes Steve back into the arms of his scheming ex Tracy Barlow, who has been pursuing him for months.

Rumours suggest that Tracy will fall pregnant after she and Steve have a one-night stand of their own, sparking a chain of events which lead to Becky's exit from Weatherfield.

Coronation Street viewers will see Becky return to The Rovers in next week's episodes, hoping to get her marriage back on track. However, she is soon left disappointed when Steve announces that he wants a divorce.

The latest love twist rumours remain unconfirmed but show bosses announced in April that Becky will leave the cobbles in early 2012.

Nick was also recently tipped for a romance with newcomer Eva Price as part of a 'Summer of Love' for Coronation Street.
