Coronation Street fans were left swooning during Monday night’s first visit to the cobbles, as resident ‘hunk’ Ryan Connor stripped shirtless to flirt with girlfriend Alya Nazir.
Viewers were stunned by Ryan’s hunky transformation as he hung out in nothing more than a pair of pale blue boxers, before hugging the banister to treat Alya to a flirty dance.
Alya had to dash off somewhere, but she left her boyfriend with instructions to remain as he was as soon as she got back, and he quickly dashed upstairs to make the most of the summer heat in the bedroom.
But fans swarmed to Twitter in his absence to rave over his hunky transformation, with one writing: “And now there’s a semi naked hunk on Corrie!”
Someone else chimed in: “Jesus lord above, shirtless Ryan!” with a row of heart-eyed emojis, as a third penned: “Oh hello Ryan!”
“Ooooh that’s me onto Corrie then!” another social media user quipped.
“I approve of Ryan in shorts, and more especially, Ryan turning round and wiggling his a*** at the camera!” another joked, while someone else echoed: “A shirtless Ryan. Thank you @corrie!”
Others were quick to point out Ryan’s risky behaviour might not be so wise with Alya’s gran Yasmeen just upstairs, typing: “Yasmeen is upstairs, yet Ryan walks around the house in his boxers?”
And someone quickly followed up with the sarcastic: “Oh dear, committing lewd acts in our dearly departed Geoff’s abode.”
And later, fans spotted some sparks flying between Daisy and Ryan as he admitted Alya had wrangled him into applying for an “assistant dogsbody” position at the Bistro despite him wanting to pursue DJing work.
Daisy wasn’t wholly convinced by his pending career change.
“You’re not on Tinder behind Alya’s back, are you?” Daisy asked, batting her eyelashes at the now clothed hunk.
“Daisy’s definitely after Ryan!” one fan predicted, as another agreed: “Daisy and Ryan… Daisy better not get her claws into him!”
But another said: “Daisy and Ryan would work. Unpopular opinion?”
