Coronation Street fans have noticed something strange about Nick Tilsley (Ben Price), as the soap airs its first post-lockdown scenes.

On Monday night (July 7), fans of the soap noticed something odd about the opening scene, as a clean-shaven Nick chased Leanne through Weatherfield sporting a grey hairdo.

Later in the episode, further confusion was sparked when Nick was seen with shorter blonde hair and the beginnings of a beard. What gives, Corrie?

This issue comes from the cast of Coronation Street having to resume filming on eight half-finished episodes from before the coronavirus lockdown began, making such continuity issues inevitable.

Still, viewers had fun spotting the difference on Twitter.

"I love Ben Price, I really do... but you can DEFINITELY tell which scenes are filmed before and after lockdown just based on Nick Tilsley’s looks," said one viewer.

"Bit of a continuity issue there with Nick’s hair," added another.

"Nick suddenly grown a beard in the morning," said another.

Below are a few more of their reactions:
