ITV Coronation Street fans spot error as Abi's waters break

Coronation Street's Abi Franklin has gone into labour, stranded in the middle of nowhere with a dead phone battery.

The final scene of Sunday's episode saw a desperate Abi shout "I'm having a baby" into her phone, though nobody could hear her.

As Monday's instalment of the long-running soap began, her waters broke.

A car drove past, but despite Abi's cries for help it didn't stop.

Abi is married to Kevin Webster, but also had a one-night stand with Imran Habeeb, so the father of the child is unknown.

As the baby was clearly on his or her way, viewers believed they'd spotted a problem with the pregnancy.

Taking to Twitter, Georgia Bowring said: "And Abi is 6 months pregnant? No sign of a bump, plus the fact she told Imran she wasn’t pregnant!"

MissFee85 said: "Didn't Abi do a test and it was negative?! I'm really confused"

Michelle W said: "But she tested negative and hasn't put any weight on?"

However, one viewer clarified what may have happened.

Claire Leahy said: "Loads of people saying how could Abi not know she was pregnant etc but I happens a lot!

"My cousin was five and a half months pregnant and didn’t know."

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
