Coronation Street fans in shock after spotting T4 legend on the cobbles

CORONATION Street fans are in shock after spotting a T4 legend on the cobbles.

In tonight’s episode Abi Franklin decided to relapse and met up with a dealer from her past.

And the man was a familiar face to viewers.

She was caught by Toyah Battersby but convinced her that the dealer was her new sponsor.

But after the pair left Toyah thinking he was Abi’s new sponsor – the truth was soon revealed.

“I had to tell her something,” said Abi as she admitted the man was her drug dealer.

“I couldn’t exactly tell her I’d walked out of a meeting and went straight to find you. But she bought it.”

He told her: “It is true, I am available on the end of the phone any time you need me.”

Pulling out a bag of drugs he delighted Abi with it.

The pair went back to Abi’s house to take the drugs but fans couldn’t help but notice the man was recognisable.

They quickly realised he is T4 presenter Anthony Crank.

The television presenter – who hosted the Sunday morning Channel 4 show between 2002 and 2005 – looks unrecognisable in filming pictures.

Millions turned in in the noughties to watch Anthony and fellow T4 presenters like Alexa Chung, Rick Edwards and June Sarpong for the hangover television.

Fans couldn’t believe their eyes.
