EAGLE-EYED Coronation Street fans were left in stitches after spotting a hilarious blunder during a tense scene.

Monday’s episode of Coronation Street saw a tipsy Daisy Midgeley drown her sorrows after feeling betrayed by her stepmum, Jenny Connor.
Jenny had discovered that Daisy’s dad had invested shares in Daisy’s name years ago, expecting a £60k payout – but she kept it a secret from Daisy.
Meanwhile, Carla broke the news that she needs to pay Lisa back and has decided to sell the pub.
Jenny eventually came clean and told Daisy that she wants to buy back the pub – but in her own name – leaving Daisy devastated.
In a drunken outburst, she caused chaos in the pub, unsteadily attempting to climb onto the bar with a full glass of wine in hand.
The feisty barmaid was stopped by Carla, who quickly dropped her scarf to grab Daisy’s arm and prevent a serious fall.
Carla said: “Daisy do yourself a favour… and stop drinking, alright?”
Daisy replied: “Well that won’t help will it? You’ll still be a cow when I’m sober.”
Daisy’s mum Christina was forced to intervene, pulling her daughter away before things got worse.
Meanwhile, viewers spotted an editing blunder as Carla’s scarf mysteriously moved from the top of the bar to her hand between shots.
Coronation Street fans convinced show newcomer is 'improvising' as they 'talk over other character's lines' - did you spot it?

A third added: “It’s a magic scarf.”
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX.
Most complained about soap storylines
Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous…
EastEnders baby theft: 13,400Ofcom complaints – Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap’s long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners – with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it “distressing” and “horrific” but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not “unduly disturbing”.
Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom – but viewers didn’t like it one bit. The nation’s pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don’t mess with animal-lovers.
Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints – Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford – and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the “violent scenes”.
