The former couple dated for ten months

The pair were close friends for a decade before their relationship blossomed while they were both filming the ITV soap and they showed off their many holidays on Instagram.

A telly source said at the time: “Sadly Nicola and Charlie decided to cool things after growing apart.

“Nicola’s brief departure from the soap earlier this summer put a strain on their relationship, even though she’s returned to the cobbles now.

“They’ve decided to remain pals – although they aren’t hanging out as much platonically as they they did before they were a couple and have been tending to go to separate.

“As long as it doesn’t get awkward at work they’re happy, that’s their main concern, they also won’t be flaunting any new partners in front of each other, they plan to be very professional.”

Nicola revealed she was jealous when Charlie’s character was offered a threesome in the soap by sisters Leanne and Toyah Battersby.
