Disgusted Coronation Street viewers want Gemma axed for cruelly 'abusing' Joseph

Disgusted Coronation Street viewers want Gemma Winter to be axed from the soap after 'abusing' Joseph.

Gemma took boyfriend Chesney Brown and his son on the caravan holiday from hell.

Instead of sunny Portugal, the gang were held up in a dirty, old caravan which was previously being used to grow cannabis.

The electricity stopped working, the roof was leaking, there was no money in the Monopoly box and Chesney was forced to read a three-year-old paper.

Things turned from bad to worse when the car got stuck and Ches had to walk to the village - leaving Gemma in charge of his son.

Mud-covered Chesney suggested they should play cards while he walked four miles to the nearest village.

Gemma decided they should play poker - and used the opportunity to take money from her boyfriend's son.

When Joseph claimed he was bored, Gemma said: "Care to make it interesting? How much pocket money did you bring?

Chesney returned home with some cold fish and chips and wondered where his son was hiding.

Gemma explained that he was sulking in the toilet because she beat him at poker.

Realising she had stolen Joseph's £12 pocket money, Chesney said: "Please tell me you're joking. You fleeced my son."

Outraged Gemma said: "I’ve not fleeced anybody. I beat him fair and square."

After some resistance, she eventually saw sense and gave the schoolboy his pocket money back.

Could the holiday from hell cause the pair to split?

Corrie fans took to Twitter to slam Gemma after watching the uncomfortable scenes.

One viewer said: "Gemma is such a loser & so wrong for playing poker for money with Joseph & cheating & gloating to Chesney about winning. shame on her. cheating a child how low can she go?

"I just hate Gemma they have turned her into a monster," added another.

A third agreed: "Ffs get rid of that ghastly disgusting Gemma"
