ITV Coronation Street fans spot same problem as they're shown Carla and Peter's flat for the first time

Coronation Street fans didn't know where to look as they were finally given a look inside Carla and Peter Balow's flat. Viewers of the ITV soap thought they had last seen the couple living with Peter's dad Ken Barlow at No. 1 Coronation Street.

But fans have now been given a look inside the couple's own place, 15a Victoria Street, where they live along with Peter's son, Simon. Corrie took to its social channels to share a string of images which showed inside the humble abode of the Underworld boss and the Street Cars driver.

The home is much different to that of Leanne Battersby and Nick Tilsley and Maria and Gary Windass who live in the same apartment block on the famous street. Carla and Peter have opted for a black and white theme in their living room, with bucket chairs and a curved sofa covered in varying cushions.

Their open-plan kitchen and living room also features a dark-coloured dining room table with a flat-screen TV also perched on a stand on the back wall with a bird-themed divider also spotted in the room.

"Here it is, Carla and Peter's flat," those behind the Corrie social wrote before adding: "We're obsessed." And fans were also quick to brand the place 'lush' and ask when they can move in. But those seeing the post were also quick to point out what they believed was a problem.

@cirahquinn replied: "It annoys me that the TV isnt directly opposite the couch, in fact, their is a chair in front of it." @tracyali2021 shared: "That furniture needs replacement chair infrastructure of tv but turned to side and not even a proper comfortable sofa chair No!"

Others, meanwhile, think they have spotted something that isn't 'very Carla' in the flat. @audreyfinn said: "Carla would not have those nets at her kitchen window." @thewestiecrazylady commented: "Don't think Carla would do net curtains...too old fashioned, wheres the blinds or shutters?"

@firecracker wrote: "As if Carla would have net curtains in the kitchen!" @laura.orcagirl added: "Everything is spot on apart from those horrific curtains and nets, no way would Carla have those."
