Coronation Street star Alexandra Mardell may have hit some fans where it hurts in her latest Instagram post.
The actress, who plays barmaid Emma Brooker in the ITV soap, took to social media to tell her followers about her latest delivery.
But all was not as it seems.
Ali, 29, shared a photo of an air fryer which was subject of a shopper frenzy last week.

An Amazon 'glitch' saw the 4.5-litre RUXINGGU Air Fryer on sale for just £3.99 after it was discounted by a massive £44.
However, as shoppers clambered to buy them they were left disappointed when their orders were cancelled by the online retailer.
But Ali couldn't help but be a tease.
Sharing a video of the in-demand product, the Corrie star wrote: "When your £4 air fryer actually turned up," before turning the camera to herself and sticking her tongue out.
There were probably audible gasps for any of her followers who may have attempted to grab the insane bargain.
But she couldn't keep up the pretence for long.
"Jokes!!" she shared alongside a picture of her laughing at the camera. "Had this bad boi for yonks!!
"Couldn't have done lockdown without ya," she added with a heart.
Away from the teasing, Ali stunned fans when she showed off her dramatic hair transformation.
Posting a photo on a canalside walk in Manchester, she captioned it "long walks, long locks", showing off a very different look to her signature curls.
And the compliments came flooding in for her long braided hairstyle.
As for on-screen, Emma may be facing heartbreak when boyfriend Curtis collapses and is taken to hospital in scenes to air on Corrie next week.
In the hospital, the doctor tells Curtis they’d like to keep him in overnight and run some more tests.
And back at the flat, a struggling Emma has a shock announcement for Curtis.
It comes after she discovered last month that he had a secret health battle with a heart condition that could prove fatal at any moment.
