ITV Emmerdale character 'spotted' on Coronation Street by fans in hysterics

Coronation Street viewers were in hysterics as they "spotted" an Emmerdale character on tonight's show.

Monday's episode of the long-running soap continued to explore the blossoming relationship between Stu Carpenter and Yasmeen Metcalfe.

The character, played by Bill Fellows, has developed into a fan favourite ever since he helped uncover a vital piece of evidence to bring down the villainous Corey Brent.

Stu was homeless when he was first introduced on the soap and the show has since charted his efforts to get back on his feet.

Yasmeen has been helping Stu after she wrongly accused him of starting the fire at the Speed Daal restaurant.

She has since given him a job in the kitchen and offered him a room a 6 Coronation Street.

Stu received his first pay packet in tonight's show and treated himself to some new clothes and a trip to the Rovers Return.

He entered the pub debuting a new "jaunty cap" - and fans on Twitter were in stitches as he donned a similar look to Emmerdale favourite, Zak Dingle.

Matt said: "What's Zak Dingle doing on Corrie"

Dave added: "Since when was Zak Dingle a part of Corrie"

Samantha posted: "B****y hell! Zak Dingle’s crossed over to Corrie."

Coronation Street airs weekdays on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
