As for 2010, she added: "There could be a future appearance but nothing's been confirmed yet."

In a Twitter post, Doughty wrote: "Pleased to say I'm going back for one more episode on Corrie! Yipee! Will keep nudging them for longer though as I love it on the street!"

Viewers were introduced to builder Jake last week when he was rescued after a roof accident by Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh) and then asked her for a date.
