Coronation Street fans have hit out at the soap after being left traumatised by the escaped tarantula storyline.
In last night’s (Friday, September 18) episode fans were left reeling when a large tarantula invaded Speed Daal.
The massive arachnid was brought into the restaurant by its youngster owner as he joined his mother and grandmother for a family meal.
However midway through the meal the Mexican Red Knee burst through its carrier and went exploring into the dining room.
It left other diners utterly terrified with them fleeing once they spotted the beast.
