EastEnders fans in hysterics as Corrie's Liz McDonald gatecrashes Big Night In special

Soaps locked horns this evening as a Corrie star managed to find herself in am EastEnders special.

Beverley Callard's Liz McDonald was on the hunt for the Rovers' digital quiz night, but instead of finding her pals from the Cobbles, she interrupted the EastEnders Big Night In special.

"Oh heck," she said, as the Walford lot looked puzzled, "I think I might be in the wrong video chat.

"Is this the virtual quiz night for the Rover's Return?"

"Rover's Return?" scoffed Kellie Bright's Linda Carter, "This is for the Queen Vic, love. London's best pub!"

"Get you," Liz came back, "And I bet you don't charge less than a tenner for a pint."

"Get out my virtual pub!" Linda yelled, "You're barred!"

Liz didn't seem all too bothered, replying: "With pleasure. And you don't come to Rovers, you're barred."

Fans loved the crossover, taking to social media to vent their excitement.
