Coronation Street fans gobsmacked as 'Jason Manford' appears as new character

Coronation Street fans couldn’t help but notice a major similarity between comedian Jason Manford and the policeman in tonight’s episode of the soap.

The Coronation Street cast member spoke to the policeman about her grandmother, as she was worried that she was being abused.

She had discovered that she had been locked in a box for hours by her husband, and had also heard that Yasmeen had been overheard crying in the garden.

She decided to take Toyah Battersby as she shared her concerns with the policeman, who promised to look into it for her.

As the policeman brought up Clare’s Law, a law which protects partners in domestic abuse cases, fans were distracted by how similar he looked to the comedian.

One fan posted: “Thought that police man was Jason Manford.”

Another added: “He’s a clever one, that Geoff. What a bar steward. Hey, it’s Jason Manford.”

A third chipped in: “Wasn’t it Jason??”

A fourth wrote: “Jason Manford making an appearance.”

Is Alya going to manage to send Geoff to prison?

Viewers were left sickened as Geoff managed to manipulate Yasmeen into cutting ties with her granddaughter after she caught him taking money from the Speed Daal account.

Geoff threatened to leave Yasmeen as he accused her of choosing her over him, leaving her in tears as she begged him to stay.

Are the police finally going to put Geoff where he belongs?

He eventually changed his mind, but fans know that his sick abuse is only going to get worse over the coming weeks.

Is Geoff finally going to get what he deserves?

Corrie continues on Wednesday at 7.30pm on ITV.
