Coronation Street viewers were horrified by Beth Tinker's comment on tonight's show.
The character's marriage to Kirk Sutherland hit another stumbling block on Monday's episode as she went on a date with her former lover. Beth has reconnected with Marco and the two met up for a drink on the latest programme.
It is the latest in a raft of problems to hit the longstanding onscreen couple. Kirk threatened to move out of the house last week when he discovered Beth had lied about hitting Hope.
