Coronation Street villain Mick Michaelis gets a taste of his own medicine next week as he’s beaten up in prison.

Mick is targeted while being held on remand following his string of crimes – and it seems there’s more to the incident than meets the eye…

The local thug looks set to face the consequences of his actions in the coming days, after cruelly terrorising the Weatherfield community since moving into Mawdsley Street earlier this year.

Next week, fans will see a helpless Mick lying on the floor of his prison cell after suffering a beating.

Back on the cobbles, Kit Green tells his girlfriend Sarah Barlow that Mick is due to face his plea hearing that day.

“Kit has been protecting Mick for weeks, but any misguided loyalty from the past now seems well and truly over,” our Corrie source explains.

“The local detective assures Sarah that Mick is likely to plead guilty – but why is he so confident of this?”

Lou visits Mick in prison and is shocked to see his injuries after the assault.

Mick explains that Kit masterminded the attack using his dodgy contacts. Lou is horrified to learn the full details, including how Kit has warned that if Mick doesn’t plead guilty, the next beating will be even worse.

Defying the warning, though, Mick still chooses to drag things out by pleading not guilty.

“Back home, Lou shares the news with Brody, who believes Mick’s innocence and is delighted that his dad is putting up a fight,” our insider adds.

“Lou can’t bring herself to tell Brody that there’ll be a terrible price to pay for Mick’s decision. Will Mick face further misery behind bars?”

Corrie fans saw Mick’s reign of terror escalate in Monday’s visit to Weatherfield, which explored his evil violence towards Lou for the first time.

The episode ended with Mick brutally attacking Craig Tinker and leaving him for dead, after the local copper had pulled him over for drink-driving in his van.

Coronation Street airs these scenes on Wednesday 28 May and Friday 30 May on ITV1 and ITVX.
