Corrie star shares close up of 'beyond ridiculous' Tyrone Dobbs and Alina Pop tattoo

Coronation Street fans flocked to social media during the latest episode after seeing Tyrone Dobbs and Alina Pop's latest tribute to each other.

The lovebirds have already had fans talking in recent weeks as they finally gave in to their romantic feelings and Tyrone left his family life for Alina.

But the mechanic has become the butt of everyone's jokes, with many worried his is having a mid-life crisis, as he changes his appearance to impress his new girlfriend.

Fans of the ITV soap, however, probably thought it couldn't get any better - or worse - after THAT very large portrait of the new lovers.

The racy piece of art showed mechanic Tyrone as viewers have never seen him before in the car-themed photoshoot, with Tyrone in a pair of ripped denim shorts and smeared in engine oil while Alina stole the show in a cropped animal print top and split-to-the-thigh skirt as they both gave the camera their best sultry poses.

But they have now made a new - more permanent - declaration to each other.

In Friday night's hour long trip to Weatherfield, viewers watched Tyrone, played by Alan Halsall, sit down with ex Fiz Stape, portrayed by Jennie McAlpine, for mediation and they struggle to co-parent their daughters without it ending up in a row.

Earlier in the episode, Fiz caught Tyrone in a bit of bother as Tyrone found himself stuck under his motorbike after it fell on top of him.

So later, during the mediation, Fiz brought up Tyrone's embarrassing fall as he kept rubbing the bottom of his leg.

Believing he was being stoic but had actually injured himself, Fiz forced him into lifting up his jeans to see his apparent injury - only to be confronted with something completely different.

It turned out Alina and Tyrone popped out to get matching tattoos of two flags plus the letters T and A.

Initially, Fiz mocked Tyrone as she thought he had signed up to join the Territorial Army before he explained that it represents his and Alina's relationship as it is their national flags and initials.

Not only that, the young beautician had got a matching one too.

Alina actress Ruxandra Porojnicu has since took to her Instagram page to share a close-up of the inking, commenting: "What’s next for Ty and Alina?! Only the Gods of (script) writing know."

But fans quickly took to social media during Friday night's episode to have their say.

"Tyrone is HILARIOUS!! His new tattoo is beyond ridiculous," tweeted one.

Another said: "Tyrone you are 100% having a crisis my man, and people will think you were in the TA with a tattoo like that."

"That tattoo is so cringe #corrie," a third added.

A fourth said: "THE TATTOO IS HORRIBLE #corrie."

"Tyrone, this is embarrassing," another simply said.

But things are about to get a lot more serious for the new couple as Alina drops a massive pregnancy bombshell on next week's Corrie.
