Dermot O'Leary spots a problem in Coronation Street scene
Coronation Street spoilers follow.
This Morning presenter Dermot O'Leary has pointed out a problem with an upcoming Coronation Street storyline involving serial killer Stephen Reid.
Speaking to resident soap expert Sharon Marshall about this week's TV with co-presenter Holly Willoughby, the group discussed an upcoming storyline which sees Stephen continue to poison an oblivious Elaine Jones.
However, Dermot was quick to joke that Elaine should've been suspicious about the spiked drink Stephen presented to her, given how it looked.
"I would say the blame partially lies with her [Elaine] if you're willing to accept a cup of tea that looks like that!" he joked.

He added: "This is Coronation Street, you should literally, your standard of tea should be right sky-high. That's a ropey looking cuppa!"
Recent episodes have seen Stephen plot his soon-to-be wife's death, with the serial killer taking out a life insurance policy on Elaine after discovering she suffers from a heart condition.
Stephen has also been poisoning Elaine, replacing her blood pressure pills with caffeine tablets. Upcoming scenes will see Elaine feel exhausted and dizzy without her medication, leading her to collapse and hit her head.
Stephen will then return to the flat to find Elaine unconscious and decides to leaves her. Has he claimed another victim?

Elaine actress Paula Wilcox previously teased that her relationship could put her in serious danger, adding that Elaine has no idea about her fiancé's true colours.
"It is going to be a very interesting time," she said. "Hopefully, she has people watching out for her because she is completely unaware of what she is taking on."
This Morning airs on weekdays from 10am on ITV1.
