Corrie fans were fuming with Cobbles regular Fiz Brown after she slammed former kidnapping victim Rosie Webster for being a “strumpet”.
The latest edition of the hit ITV soap saw Fiz (Jennifer McAlpine) and Tyrone (Alan Halsall) attempt to explain things to Fiz’s daughter Hope, who has grown suspicious she’s been left in the dark about her dad’s identity.
Hope (Isabella Flanagan) found outa number of bombshell truths about her killer teacher dad John Stape (Graeme Hawley), such as that he kidnapped his pupil Rosie Webster twice and had an affair with the student.
However, Fiz put her foot in it with Corrie viewers when she seemed to place some blame on Rosie (Helen Flanagan) and defend John.

She told Hope that John gave compensation to Rosie for kidnapping her, but she proceeded to call Rosie a “strumpet”.
Fiz said: “Then he sold his grandma’s house and gave the money to Rosie.”
Tyrone added: “Yeah. Sort of like compensation.”
A gobsmacked Hope replied: “For kidnapping her?”, to which Tyrone confirmed: “Twice.”
Fiz then said: “But it was complicated, because Rosie Webster. She was a bit of a strumpet.”

Tyrone looked taken aback as he said: “Yeah, but basically for kidnapping her.”
Fiz then claimed her former flame John only kidnapped the former pupil as she ended his teaching career.
Fans were furious with Fiz for appearing to sympathise with murderous John so much and point the finger at vulnerable infant victim Rosie.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer said: “Kidnapped Rosie because she was a ‘strumpet’. Shame on you Fizz”

A second agreed: “Strumpet ?f*** off fizz you muppet”
A third commented: “Did I hear Fiz victim shame Rosie by calling her a strumpet? Jesus she is beyond belief”
A fourth wrote: “Hey fiz Rosie wasn’t a strumpet”
School teacher John joined Corrie in 2007, where he began dating Fiz again before tutoring Rosie and striking up an illicit affair with the pupil.

John was fired from his job when the affair was exposed, but he blamed Rosie and locked her at his grandmother’s house for five weeks before she was recused by Fiz.
He was subsequently sent to prison, but Fix married John when he was still serving his sentence.
John went on to kill Charlotte Hoyle (Becky Hindley) before dying after a fatal car crash.
