ITV Coronation Street fans amazed as they spot rare sight at Gemma and Chesney's

Fans of ITV's Coronation Street were left stunned at a 'rare' sight on the show on Monday night.

The Winter-Brown family have become the centre of a huge storyline in the past couple of weeks as Gemma and Chesney have been struggling to make ends meet with five children and themselves to feed, clothe and keep a roof over their heads.

Last week the parents discovered that Joseph had been getting bullied for being poor - They couldn't afford to buy him a new school jumper, as his has holes in, and new trainers.

As a result the 10-year-old, played by William Flannagan, went missing.

There was a £30,000 reward put up for his safe return home, all the while cousin Hope was helping him hide in their loft.

The young boy eventually returned back home safely with neighbour Clint Stubborns who pocketed the reward money despite only finding Joseph once he was back on the street.

But while all of the palaver was ongoing, fans couldn't help but be distracted by something else and took to Twitter to point it out.

Kae said: "Omgggg we’ve seen two of the quads #corrie."

Emma said: "Look! Two of the lesser spotted quads today!! #Quadwatch #Corrie."

Another user said: "Two quads on the sofa! That's twice as many as last week. #Corrie"

Viewers are often asking where the two-year-old quads are as they are rarely seen on screen.

When speaking about what's to come for the residents of Weatherfield in 2022, Coronation Street's producer Iain MacLeod explained why the quads haven't been on-screen.

He told Manchester Evening News : "I love that family a lot

"I wish, for many reasons, that there hadn't been a pandemic-related containment of our filming but what that has meant, among other things, is that we haven’t been able to see much of the quads and the children as much as we would have liked.

"And the fact is, we probably still can't see as much of the children as we'd like. But, it felt like we were now able to examine that house a bit more."
