She has been enjoying some rest and relaxation abroad as she recovers from a heart attack, but wanted to say her final goodbye.

Viewers of the ITV soap were however rather distracted as they noticed she was wearing a towel on her head - despite her hair being dry.

She appeared on screen chatting to her mum Audrey in a white shirt and purple jumper and a matching purple head towel.

Those watching at home were baffled about why she was wearing it though and took to Twitter to question it. 

One person tweeted: “Why’s Gail got a towel on dry hair?.”

Another added: “Loving this corrie tonight, kidnapping and now Gail’s magic towel have you washed it or nah?!.”

While someone else remarked:  “Why’s Gail got a towel on dry hair ? .”

It later transpired that Gail was wearing the towel because Audrey was about to give her a haircut. 

Meanwhile, in upcoming scenes Gail is set to try and stage an intervention with Audrey to address issues with her health. 

She grows concerned after she notices her eye-signt failing on more than one occasion.
