Corrie’s Charlie Jordan slammed by fans after they spot ‘disrespectful’ detail as cast make their way to the NTAs
CORONATION Street star Charlotte Jordan has been slammed by fans for ‘disrespect’ ahead of tonight’s National Television Awards.
The 29-year-old actress plays barmaid Daisy Midgeley on the ITV soap.
Taking to Instagram, the show’s account shared a clip of stars heading to London for the NTAs.
In the short video, a group of Corrie actors are seen travelling together on a train.
Followers were unhappy about how Charlotte was sat compared to the others.
One wrote: “What’s with the feet on the seat.”
Another added: “Get your feet off the seats, people have to sit there!”
While a third shared: “Get your feet off the seats @charliejordanxo.”
Altogether, Coronation Street has three nominations heading into the NTAs tonight.
The show itself is up for the prestigious Serial Drama award, against rivals EastEnders, Emmerdale, Casualty and Hollyoaks.
Meanwhile, actors David Neilson and Peter Ash are both nominated for Serial Drama Performance.
The stars are being recognised their roles as Roy Cropper and Paul Foreman respectively.
As for Charlotte, the Surrey-born star first joined the Corrie cast back in 2020.
Before her soap days, she dabbled in the world of music as part of a girl band.
Speaking to Metro, Charlotte explained how she was close to joining a pop band that Simon Fuller and Geri Halliwell were assembling.
The actress said: “It was a development deal, which means we spent a lot of time bonding, doing choreography and recording songs in the studio sometimes cool songs, sometimes naff songs.
“You just try to find your sound.”
Best soap affair love triangles
LOVE triangles are a fundamental part of soap-land, but which ones have become the most iconic?
EASTENDERS
Bradley/Stacey/Max: Stacey Slater began an affair with boyfriend Bradley Branning’s dad Max in 2007.
Despite their romps, Stacey still married Bradley, but their deceit came out in an iconic Christmas Day episode that year.
Grant/Sharon/Phil: Heading even further back in Walford history, EastEnders fans were gripped in the 90s as Sharon Watts had a one-night stand with her brother-in-law Phil Mitchell.
Sharon confided in best friend Michelle Fowler – not realising it was caught on tape – and her husband Grant eventually found out and played it in front of everyone at the Queen Vic.
Syed/Amira/Christian: Syed Masood was engaged to Amira before realising he had feelings for another man, Christian, which he confessed to him on his wedding day.
A devout Muslim, Syed refused to admit his true sexuality and went ahead and married Amira anyway, but when they returned, the two men started an affair before being caught in the act by Amira.
CORONATION STREET
Shelley/Peter/Lucy: Peter Barlow took the concept of a love triangle and ran with it in Coronation Street – extending it to bigamy.
He was in a relationship with Shelley Unwin but started dating Lucy Richards, and quickly married her after she fell pregnant with his son, Simon.
But it didn’t stop him also marrying Shelley, but he was eventually caught when Lucy turned up in Weatherfield and the two women confronted him.
Ken/Deidre/Mike: Back in 1982, Deirdre Barlow started sleeping with her husband’s nemesis Mike Baldwin in secret, before confessing all a year later.
When Mike turned up at the marital home, Deirdre was being throttled by her husband who then kicked her out, but years later they reconciled.
Maria/Aidan/Eva: In 2017, Aidan Connor started sleeping with girlfriend Eva Price’s best friend, Maria Connor.
Eva eventually found out and she decided to take revenge by faking a pregnancy, spending his money and planned to confront him on their wedding day.
But she had a change of heart when a remorseful Aidan confessed, and decided to marry him anyway, only for Maria to arrive and expose her fake pregnancy.
EMMERDALE
Ross/Debbie/Pete: Debbie Dingle found herself torn between two brothers, Ross and Pete Barton in 2015 in Emmerdale.
She eventually decided to marry Pete but yet again, a soap wedding day was ruined when the groom learned of his bride’s betrayal via a recording played at the wedding.
Chrissie/Robert/Aaron: Robert Sugden was married to Chrissie White and all seemed well – until he began a steamy affair with Aaron Dingle.
Robert’s ex Katie Sugden almost exposed the affair – but fell to her death before she had the chance.
However, a guilty Aaron eventually cracked and told Chrissie about the affair – after which she announced it to the whole pub.
In the fictional world of Weatherfield, her character Daisy’s relationship with Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) looks to be under strain.
In upcoming scenes, Daisy will offer to babysit her Daniel’s son Bertie whilst Daniel (Rob Mallard) takes Bethany (Lucy Fallon) to the airport ahead of her Turkey trip.
This leaves Ryan disgruntled that his partner is maintaining a bond with her ex’s child.
Coronation Street airs on ITV and is available on ITVX.
