Coronation Street’s Jackson tries to expose his secret kiss with his ex Faye after she accepts Craig’s shocking proposal
Jackson Hodge tried to expose his secret kiss with Faye Windass after she accepted Craig Tinker’s shocking proposal at Coronation Street on Friday.
The character, played by Ellie Leach, was stunned when her beau (Colson Smith) got down on one knee in front of her loved ones, but not for the reason he’d hoped.
Viewers of the ITV soap know that Faye has met her ex Jackson, who recently returned to Weatherfield with their daughter Miley.
And the truth almost came out when Jackson tried to expose her lies by telling Craig that he had been seeing his new fiancé behind his back.
Earlier in the episode, Craig invited Jackson to propose to the Victoria Street gardens, declaring his undying love for Faye while Glenda Shuttleworth sang a ballad.

Angered and confused by Faye’s reaction, the jealous Jackson later chased after Craig, stating that he had shared a passionate kiss with his wife-to-be.
“We met behind your back,” he yelled.
“She’s considering moving to Slough with me and Miley!”
Craig was reeling at the news as he went to confront Faye and demand the truth.
“I ran into Jackson before and he had a thing or two to say, apparently you don’t want to marry me. You have to tell me the truth or we’re done!”
Faye hid the kiss and replied, “It’s like I said, I ran into Jackson on the way back, that’s all. He talks from his butt.
“He jumped on me before Slough. I rejected him. I told him we’re just co-parenting Miley, I know what I want in my life, that’s you, Craig.”
Faye was seen confiding in Michael Bailey, confessing that despite accepting the proposal, she was conflicted after kissing Jackson.

Lies: Craig continued to falter at the news as he went to confront Faye and ask for the truth
Earlier episodes saw Faye and Jackson meeting in town for drinks after his interview, but instead of telling Craig the truth, she lied and told him she was going to meet a girlfriend.
Faye’s turmoil comes amid the news that Ellie Leach, 22, will reportedly leave the ITV show in July this year.
The actress first stepped onto the cobblestones as a wide-eyed nine-year-old in 2011, playing the adopted daughter of Eddie and Anna Windass.
Her character is said to have been “written out,” and Ellie is thankful that Faye won’t be “killed off.”
