Coronation Street suffers major leak as fans on set tour sneak into brand new Platt house - and reveal huge redesign before it has even landed on screens
Coronation Street has suffered a major leak after a fan on a set tour snuck into the brand new Platt house after it was rocked by a deadly fire in terrifying explosion scenes in February.
Number eight on the Cobbles was set alight by Max Turner (Paddy Bever) to try and help his dad David's (Jack P. Shepherd) debt.
The house fire also led on to Gail Platt's (Helen Worth) heartbreaking exit after 50 years with the ITV soap.
Fans have been desperate to find out what their family home looks like now in the aftermath of the fire, and one fan secretly recorded it while on a set tour.
TikTok user tezza88 snuck into the pad and got his phone out to show what fans what they've desperately wanted to see.
So far, the living room boasts Herringbone flooring, navy walls and modern wooden cupboards.
Meanwhile the kitchen has matching floors, navy marble cupboards and white work surfaces.
The fan captioned the post: 'Inside Gail Platt's house,' with a whispering emoji.
He wrote over the top of the clip: 'Sneaking inside Gaill's house.'
And many were shocked with how different it looks and flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One said: 'I don't like it I'm sorry it looks so so modern like Ed Bailey's house tbh.'
'Woah!??? It's changed and I don't like it.'
'Refurbs are always risky. Avid viewers struggle get used to change.'
'I haven't tuned in since like 2021 why is there a new number 8.'
'Looks a lot better it was stuck in an early 90's decor time warp!'
'Wow it's very different.'
'Blimey that looks better, can you move in to Tyrone and Fizz and Chesney and Gemma's please.'
It comes shortly after David Platt star Jack P. Shepherd was crowned winner of this year's Celebrity Big Brother.
The soap star was up against Danny Beard, JoJo Siwa, Chesney Hawkes, Donna Preston and Chris Hughes.
Danny placed second, while JoJo came third.
CBB fans were left shocked by Jack's unexpected win, as they joke that 'all he did was drink tea'.
Taking to X to react to the soap star's win, fans quipped: 'The British public making someone with a dry sense of humour and a tea addiction the winner of Celebrity Big Brother feels weirdly patriotic #CBBUK.'
'Jack drinking tea all season and wins the whole thing. Legendary. #CBBUK #CBB #CelebrityBigBrother.
'Jack's won for doing f*** all but drinking tea all day #cbbuk.'
In his first exclusive interview, Jack told AJ and Will that he is 'blown away' by his victory and 'didn't expect it' - instead he had JoJo Siwa 'nailed' as the winner.
Talking about how he went from the most-nominated housemate to the winner, the soap star admitted: 'I figured that I might annoy a few people and they might not know how to work me out but I guess I was liked by the end.'
Jack took to Instagram later on after his win and thanked everyone for his support.
He said: 'I just want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. It means the world. I'm blown away by the love and support.

Ex-England international wants more female role models in sport
Telford, from County Durham, achieved 27 caps in an England shirt and appeared in three FA Cup finals with Leeds United, Chelsea and Notts County. She lacked visible representation during her youth but since taking on her post-playing role working at Chelsea Women as a Commercial Manager, she can see new opportunities for young girls. 'I basically didn't have any female role models until I was a lot older,' she said. 'If I was asked that question as a youngster, I would have said David Beckham or David Ginola. 'I was in a school last week, and we were doing the trophy tour for the FA Cup. I sat down next to a group of girls, and I said, 'Oh, who are your role models?' and they said Sam Kerr, Millie Bright, Lauren James and that is just so normal for them. 'To see them writing their names down, wishing them good luck, it's just so inspiring for them to be like, I see myself in her, or I want to be like her one day.' A study by Sure in 2024 found that 58% of girls say that having a female role model strengthens their passion for football. Telford, who was part of a panel discussing the issue at Stamford Bridge this week, has been able to become the role model for others that she never had, spending eight years at WSL heavyweights Chelsea during her career. 'It's mad. I sometimes forget it, until someone's like, 'Can you sign my T-shirt? Can you sign my boot?','' she said. 'It's almost like a responsibility as well in the best kind of way. I didn't want to be a footballer for any other reason, I just loved it. I genuinely do. If you ask most of the girls who play the game, it's all for the love of it. 'The responsibility that comes with that is to always turn up as who you are, because there's always going to be a young girl, a group of girls that will be like, 'Oh, I sound like her, I look like her, I play the position she does.' 'Not all of us have a smooth journey. Just because when you get to the top, it looks like it's all great, and Instagram and TikTok can make it look all fun, actually it's a difficult role. 'There's a lot of rejection, sometimes confidence is low, you're not selected. There's a lot of things that you have to deal with but that also helps you prepare for life outside.' For Telford, that authenticity is key in allowing girls to connect with players and create role models who speak to wider aspects of life beyond elite football. 'Role models should allow girls to aspire to be Lionesses and want to be the best of the best, but also empower them to feel confident, to feel like they can do it, and that gives them life skills in the longer term as well,' she added.

Russell Martin's partner Lucy Pinder is former glamour model and is friends with Gary Lineker and his ex
Russell Martin's partner Lucy Pinder is former glamour model and is friends with Gary Lineker and his ex The former model will be cheering on her partner at Ibrox next season Martin and Pinder went public with their relationship last year (Image: Instagram: @pinderpix ) Russell Martin has been appointed as the new manager of Rangers, with the former Swansea City and Southampton boss signing a three-year deal to take charge at Ibrox. The 39-year-old former Scotland defender had a short stint at the club as a player in 2018 and has now returned as part of a new era for the Scottish giants, who were taken over by a US-based consortium last week. Martin is said to have been the "standout choice" to turn around the fortunes of the team after a disappointing season saw them end the campaign with no silverware. Joining the manager in Glasgow will be his girlfriend, former glamour model Lucy Pinder, with the couple going public with their relationship last year having dated since August. Pinder will likely be a familiar face to many football fans, having risen to international fame for her work in men's magazines - including FHM, Loaded and Nuts - during the 2000s. She was named as one of FHM's '100 Sexiest Women in the World' on three occasions, while she later moved into TV work, landing a presenting role on Nuts TV and appearing on reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother and Hell's Kitchen. The 41-year-old has also tried her hand at acting, starring in comedy horror film Strippers vs Werewolves in 2012 before appearing in made-for-television disaster flick Sharknado 5: Global Swarming five years later. Article continues below While she didn't quite make it to Hollywood herself, Pinder was previously rumoured to be dating Captain America star Chris Evans, having been seen enjoying a daytime date with the actor in January 2015. However, she has now found love with former Wycombe Wanderers and Norwich City defender Martin, who was sacked as Southampton manager in December. With Pinder a die-hard Saints fan, the couple were said to have "grown closer" during the manager's time at St Mary's, following his split from his wife Jasmine - with whom he shares three children - last year. The former glamour model revealed their relationship in August, sharing a photo of her and Martin in his hometown of Brighton - where he was receiving an honorary degree - on Instagram. When their relationship was revealed, a source told The Sun: "They're a match made in heaven - or at least in Southampton. They're mad for each other." Pinder is also close friends with Cardiff-born model and Gary Lineker's ex-wife Danielle Bux, with the two women recently sharing photos of a night of wine and games that was also attended by Martin and the former Match of the Day host. Bux - who was married to Lineker between 2009 and 2016 but has remained close friends with him since - posted pictures on Instagram of the evening with Lineker's son Harry, 31 and her daughter Ella Willis also in attendance. Lineker previously opened up about his relationship with Bux, telling The Mirror that they split up due to the fact that he didn't want any more children. "Danielle and I are best mates, we still speak three times a day, we text all the time," he said. "When she comes to London she stays with me, and when I go to Los Angeles I see her. Article continues below "It might be unusual and people might go, 'That's weird' but, frankly, I don't care. What is normal? Is it better to get divorced and end up fighting, screaming and shouting? Or is it better to get on if you can?"
