Corrie legend praises 'incredible' husband for his work on acid attack story as she says she was left 'weeping in a park' over scenes

Coronation Street fans have called for Coronation Street to 'sweep all the awards' after powerful acid attack scenes screened on Monday night. Hearts were pounding as bride Daisy Midgeley was targeted by her stalker Justin Rutherford as she prepared to marry Daniel Osbourne after waking up with a red eye, news of her wedding car being stolen and the wrong message on her wedding cake.

When barmaid Daisy, played by Charlotte Jordan, was locking up the Rovers Return with Ryan Connor, who had stepped in as chauffeur on her special day, Justin stepped out of the shadows and hurled a glass of acid in her direction. There was harrowing drama as Ryan stepped in and took the force of the acid.

As he writhed and screamed in agony, Daisy called 999 and was instructed to get him under cold water in the shower and she cut the shirt off his back. She rounded on DS Swain over the police not acting sooner about Justin after she reported him numerous times and was turned down for a Stalking Protection Order and was horrified to find him outside the hospital as she waited for news on Ryan.
