Coronation Street fans left blushing by Kirk Sutherland’s X-rated confession

CORONATION Street fans were left red-faced as Kirk Sutherland made an explicit admission on the soap.

Fans of the ITV soap opera were left open-mouthed as Kirk, played by Andrew Whyment, made the startling confession.

In the midst of a series of marriage woes with wife Beth (Lisa George), Kirk has been seeking to try and reach some more common ground with her.

Kirk's jealousy was set off during last night's episode of the programme when Beth was left remarking about an Italian ex-lover Marco.

Beth had been telling her co-worker Fiz (Jennie McAlpine) about her previous encounter earlier in the day where Fiz remarked that she had a "wistful" look in her eye when talking about him.

This left Kirk feeling insecure as Beth looked on.

However, it was when the pair were in the pub together that things really took hold as Kirk's X-rated confession took everyone by surprise.

Reflecting on her past Italian love, Beth declared: "He was definitely a stallion."

In a more shocking quip, Kirk answered back: "Well, I'm a stallion."

ITV viewers at home were taken aback by the Underworld delivery driver's surprise words.

Taking to Twitter, one fan said: "Kirk, no - you are not a stallion."

Another jokingly added: "I have many adjectives for Kirky. ‘Stallion’ is not one of them."

A third penned:  ";Kirk calling himself a stallion"

Whilst a fourth added alongside a series of laughing face emojis: "Kirk 'I’m a stallion'."

Elsewhere, in the episode, Kirk stood up for his wife as her actions towards Hope Stape rumbled on.

However, Beth's husband was left disgusted to find out that the accusations of Beth hitting young Hope were in fact true.

This left questions and doubts in Kirk's mind as he attempted to see a way to continue with the marriage.

Kirk felt as though he had lost all trust in Beth after she covered up her despicable actions and lied to him in the process.

Only time will tell if Kirk and Beth manage to pull themselves through the difficult time.

Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
