Coronation Street fans were in stitches over a Line of Duty comparisons as PC Craig Tinker declared himself a bent copper.
Viewers have seen Craig in deep after discovering that his girlfriend Faye Windass had been involved in a hit and run accident.
A pensioner who Faye had knocked over while having a driving lesson supervised by a tipsy Emma Brooker died after the girls took him home following the accident.

Faye and Emma panicked and left him for his grandson to find.
But they left a trail of evidence including a false nail in his sink and Emma signed for a parcel, and Craig had no idea he had been using Ted's crutch after suffering an injury.
PC Tinker agreed to keep Faye’s dark secret to stop her from going back to prison.
The teen was recently released on bail after receiving a three year sentence for attacking Adam Barlow thinking he was her rapist boss Ray Crosby.

But Craig told Faye he is now a corrupt police officer and announced he had made the decision to quit the force in Monday night's double bill.
