Twitter was awash with heart emojis from Coronation Street fans as they fell in love with a new character on Easter Monday. Corrie viewers fell head over heels as they were introduced to cute pooch Freddie who instantly stole the show as he made his debut in Roy's Rolls.
Freddie looks set to be the pawfect addition to the ITV soap, fimed in Trafford, after the recent devastating death of Evelyn Plummer's faithful companion Cerberus the greyhound after he gobbled up an Eccles cake Roy Cropper had accidentally dropped in his cafe.
Freddie the Shih Tzu bounded into Roy's life after he headed off to visit a local bat roost with his friend Melvyn. He ended up taking him in after Melvyn sadly took a funny turn.
