Coronation Street's Evelyn 'possessed' by legendary Cobbles icon

Coronation Street fans were quick to spot Evelyn channelling a Weatherfield legend on Friday night's show.

Evelyn was sitting in court with Tyrone and Fiz as they waited for Hope's trial.

Evelyn delivered a series of hilarious lines and jibes as usual, but one line stuck in viewers' minds in particular.

Speaking about Hope's chances Evelyn said: "I say, I say" and lots of fans were quick to pick up on the line and say that Evelyn was mimicking a previous Cobbles star.

Butcher Fred Elliott's famous catch phrase was "I say, I say" and lots of fans picked up on the similarity on the episode.

Chivonne McColl said: "Anybody else notice Evelyn getting her Fred Elliott on? I say did anyone notice?"

Andy said: "Was Evelyn channelling the late Fred Elliott then? I say was Evelyn channelling the late Fred Elliott then?"

Duppy the dog said: "" I said" , is Evelyn possessed by Fred the butcher?"

dave off t'internet said: "Evelyn channelling the ghost of Fred Elliot, I say she's channelling the ghost of Fred Elliot"

And St Mick said: "Evelyn morphing into Fred Elliot."

Fiz and Tyrone were left relieved later in the episode when the judge let Hope return home with them, on the proviso that she attend therapy and other rehabilitation programmes.

*Coronation Street continues at 7:30pm on ITV on Monday
