Todd Boyce, who plays three-time murderer Stephen Reid on Corrie will be sat alongside the audience as they find out if he has got away with his crimes or if justice is served. Afterwards he will host a Q&A session, with superfans able to ask anything they want – nothing is off limits.

That said, I’m slightly nervous at their reaction – they all know what Stephen’s been up to, I’m just hoping Sharon is as good a bodyguard as I know she will be a host!?"
