Coronation Street exit for Leanne as she's forced to flee with Simon

Leanne Battersby will make a dramatic exit from Coronation Street next week as she and Simon are forced to flee from drugs lord Harvey.

Next week on the ITV soap one of Harvey's dealers Ned arrives at Leanne's flat and says he's waiting for a delivery.

Ned says he'll use her flat to bag up drugs, as Simon arrives at the flat.

Ned introduces himself and Leanne is left sick to her stomach as she attempts to quiz him, leaving him suspicious - reports Mirror Online.

Leanne and Simon manage to get Ned to believe that they are on his side, but Simon is left alone with him when Leanne leaves as she says she has some shopping to do.

Instead, Leanne meets with DC Costello and tells him about Ned's plans for the drugs drop off.

The next day, Ned demands that Leanne phone in sick to work as the drugs delivery is back on.

But with Toyah and Nick assuming that Harvey is Leanne's new boyfriend, they are stunned to see him heading into her flat.

Harvey takes Simon with them as he plans to pick up the drugs. Leanne desperately tries to persuade them to take her instead, but she is ignored.

Later, Harvey returns and is left furious after realising that he was set up and that someone grassed.

Stuck, Leanne is forced to admit that it was her and she later tells Toyah and that she and Simon are leaving the cobbles as it is no longer safe for them.

On Friday, Nick is shocked when he arrives at the flat and sees that Leanne and Simon are planning to leave.

Nick tells her that Toyah has told him everything and that he still loves her, pleading with her that they can still work it out.

But Leanne is tearful and insists it's too late and the pair share a painful goodbye.

Later, an upset Nick explains why Leanne had to move away and that he was forced to choose between her and Sam.

Meanwhile, Simon shares a heartbreaking goodbye with dad Peter.
