Fans hit out at Coronation Street’s Ken Barlow after he slams marriage to his late wife Deirdre
The veteran character went on a rant at Sinead Tinker after she revealed she was pregnant with his grandson's baby
CORONATION STREET fans were left shocked tonight, after Ken Barlow went on a rant about his late wife, Deirdre.
The character, played by Bill Roach, revealed his regret over his marriage in a tell-all chat with Sinead, shortly after she revealed she was pregnant with his grandson Daniel's baby.
Sharing his true feelings, Ken told Sinead her baby new is “nothing short of a disaster”.
The veteran character didn't hold back when he said: “This is nothing short of a disaster. Daniel’s life will be ruined before it gets started.
“He doesn’t love you, he loves the idea of a girlfriend, however ill-suited she might be.”
He then went on to rant over his marriage to Deirdre, and he even admitted he felt "stuck" with her.

He told a stunned Sinead: "Not once did I have with Deirdre the conversation that I craved.
"There was never any real meeting of minds.
"I'll always be grateful to Deirdre for the life we had, but it's not the life I would have chosen at 22."
Ken then told Sinead he believes Daniel sees her as the “factory girl who trapped him”.
The scene ended with Sinead running off crying.
But viewers were NOT happy with Ken and took to twitter to vent their fury.
One said: "How dare he disrespect Deirdre! Gross. Blanche will haunt him now. #Corrie"
Another said: "Why's Ken turned into a pure meanie #corrie"
This one tweeted: "Wow Ken, lost all respect #Corrie"
This angry fan said: "#Corrie ken I never realised you could be so cruel"
