In her wedding dress and holding her bouquet, Daisy walks out to the bar and is faced with her worst nightmare.
Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott), who has stepped in as wedding chauffeur, is standing behind the bar too as Daisy sees Justin lurking.
Holding a glass full of clear liquid, Justin advances on Daisy as he throws acid at her.
The soap will air the horrific storyline, which has the support of the Katie Piper Foundation, will air on Monday, March 27.
The charity, which helps victims of burns and other disfigurement injuries, was founded by TV presenter and former model Katie Piper who suffered life-changing burns in an acid attack in March 2008 when she was 24.
Jordan, who is also known for Netflix series Free Rein, said she was surprised to see such a storyline on TV.
The 27-year-old actress added: “There is a fear lurking in the back of Daisy’s mind since Justin was released on bail. She has always been thinking ‘will Justin retaliate in some way?’
“Seeing him again after he has been warned multiple times by officials to stay away from her, she is certainly scared of how he is going to react.
“I don’t think Daisy really thought about how obsessed Justin was going to become.”
Coronation Street producer Iain MacLeod said the soap will also “explore the social fallout of having your appearance profoundly changed, both in terms of your own ability to process that and how the wider world reacts to you.
“The story will at times be heartbreaking but we felt it was an important one to tell.”
Acid Survivors Trust International (Asti) executive director Jaf Shah, whose charity also gave advice to the programme-makers, said they hope to raise awareness of their vision to “end attacks, thereby preventing further pain and suffering”.
Mr Shah, whose organisation has campaigned to change laws in Cambodia, UK, Pakistan and Bangladesh, added: “Our hope is that the airing of this storyline paves the way to increased understanding of the devastating and complex impact on the lives of survivors.”
