ITV viewers spot Coronation Street actress in Emmerdale

ITV viewers have spotted a Coronation Street actress in rival soap Emmerdale.

Tonight fans of the drama in the Dales watched in horror as rapist Lee's mum Wendy confronted Victoria Sugden in the ladies toilet of the Woolpack pub.

But some may recognise the actress, Susan Cookson as Callum's mum Marion Logan from the Cobbles.

Susan is a seasoned TV actress also making regular appearances as Maggie Coldwell on BBC drama Casualty.

And this is not the first time she has popped up in Yorkshire.

The 54-year-old also played DI Judy Dove in Emmerdale in 2003.

She also appeared in Channel 4’s Hollyoaks playing Janet, credited as Prosecuting Counsel in 2017 during Amy Barnes’ murder trial.

When Susan's new character, Wendy, came on screen tonight, she did not go down well with viewers.

She told Victoria: "You know my son, Lee. We need to have a chat about all these lies you’ve been telling."

One fan on Twitter said: "So Lee's mum was also Callums on #CoronationStreet? Jeez she's a chick who knows how to raise her eggs badly."

Another said: "Well we know where Lee learnt his nastiness from his nasty mother.. She's disgusting saying Victoria is lying.."

A third added: "OMG Victoria JUST SCREAM. What a b**** of a mother turning up like that.

"And someone (Robert) bound to let it slip that she's preggers."

*Emmerdale is on ITV1, week nights from 7pm
