ITV Coronation Street viewers left 'feeling sick' by rude manners

Fans of ITV soap Coronation Street were left "feeling sick" during tonight's episode by character Gemma Winter.

Played by Dolly-Rose Campbell, Gemma is currently eating for five, as she is expecting quadruplets with Chesney Brown, played by Sam Aston - a one in 800,000 chance.

But it wasn't how much she was eating that put viewers off their own dinner, it was how she was eating.

It seems that Gemma couldn't get it in quick enough and proceeded to eat, chew and chat with her mouth wide open as she guzzled down her beans on toast.

People watching at home were horrified by the scene, but also happy that Gemma's mum Bernie, played by Jane Hazlegrove turned to her and said: "Will you shut your gob when you are eating, it literally makes me physically sick."

Fans took to Twitter to share their disgust, one, @carol90783713 said: "First decent thing that Gemma's mum's said...!! SHUT your mouth when eating Gemma - you make me feel sick too..!!"

Another, @RyanJL said: "I'm still not a fan of Bernie, but she speaks for the nation telling Gemma to shut her gob while eating."

Another, @Sasha_Rose_ said: "Actually agreeing with Gemma's mum, I hate the way she eats."

A fourth, @karenmilne63 added: "Thank God someone has finally told Gemma to shut her gob when she's eating. Makes me feel sick."

*Coronation Street is on ITV1, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm
