While Nicola is unhappy to be left working with Kev, Jimmy gets into the swing of things with Manpreet Sharma. How will Nicola react when she learns he’s been out playing golf instead of serving customers?<\/p>\n

Kev returned to our screens last month after proving popular with fans during his initial two stints in the village.<\/p>\n
