ITV Corrie's newest character makes debut and fans can't stop talking about him despite 'cringe' scenes

Coronation Street introduced a new character into the ITV soap on Friday night and he soon got fans talking. Newcomer Frank Bardsley made his way into the Rovers Return and struck up a conversation with barman Sean Tully.
