Coronation Street fans stunned at Sally Carman's real-life look as she talks Abi's future

This Morning viewers were gobsmacked during Monday's show when they got a glimpse of Coronation Street star Sally Carman's real-life look.

The 41-year-old actor, who plays Abi Webster, appeared on the ITV daytime show alongside her two co-stars Mollie Gallagher and Tanisha Gorey.

As Sharon Marshall interviewed the three women about the upcoming British Soap Awards, fans watching at home were more interested in Sally's glasses as opposed to her nominations.

The former Shameless star was wearing a very large pair of blue loose-fitting trousers with a white short-sleeved T-shirt and a patterned tank top.

Sally completed her look with a very large pair of black spectacles, that she is never seen wearing on camera as Abi.

Many viewers watching at home immediately thought of Corrie legend Deirdre Barlow and took to Twitter to comment.

"Has she borrowed those specs from Deirdre? #ThisMorning," one person asked.

Another tweeted: "Shes the wrong character Dierdre died years ago #ThisMorning (sic)."

A third person joked: "Surely the optician didn't recommend those glasses #thismorning," and a fourth person added: "Is she wearing deirdres glasses #ThisMorning."

Someone else posted: "Deirdres glasses are Back #ThisMorning," while another referred to a different character and said: "I thought 'Abi' was 'Kelly' then with glasses and a haircut ! #thismorning."

During her chat with Sharon, Sally looked concerned as the soap expert grilled her on Abi's future with her estranged husband Kevin.

Unsure about what she could confirm in regards to upcoming storylines, Sally tried to appear vague - but was then given the nod from someone behind the camera to let viewers know that Abi and Kevin are definitely back together.

Viewers were quick to compare Sally to Deirdre Barlow who was played by the late Anne Kirkbride (ITV)

Speaking about Abi, Sharon said: "Viewers obviously absolutely love her don't they?" to which Sally replied: "I think it's a bit of Marmite if truth be told!

"But yeah as far as I'm concerned it's a dream come true, it's just a joy to be able to blow up cars and dunk spaghetti sauce on Sal's head and all the other things I've got to do!" she added

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITV Hub.
