Coronation Street’s Spider Nugent will struggle to maintain his cover in upcoming scenes after viewers learned Monday night that he has been working as an undercover cop.
The activist was spotted filming a violent brawl that saw Peter Barlow clashed with his protester buddies after viewers learned he was secretly spying on his ex Toyah Battersby for authorities.
It remains to be seen if Spider’s true identity will be revealed in the coming weeks as Toyah was already furious to learn he was secretly married after their torrid night together.

Speaking of the scenes, actor Martin said, “It’s weird because at some point you get to a point where you’re like, can I do more within the system?
“I was wondering what the backstory is and I can’t give everything but there’s a pretty strong backstory to why Spider joins the force and I think it works, even though he’s had a few clashes himself. He wasn’t exactly an angel.
“It’s very difficult for him. The only person in the world he really doesn’t want to mislead or hurt is Toyah. The truth is that he absolutely adores her, but he also needs to move forward with his work, but it’s difficult and it’s a fine line to walk.
