Coronation Street’s Alexandra Mardell addresses ‘blunder’ pointed out by Phillip Schofield

She was meant to do it!

Coronation Street star Alexandra Mardell has addressed the walking into a wall ‘blunder’ which was pointed out by Phillip Schofield.

During yesterday’s episode of This Morning (Tuesday, June 16) Phillip and Holly sat down to talk to Sharon Marshall about the soaps.

On-screen a clip was shown of the soap stars returning to work at Corrie. During the clip, character Emma Brooker, played by Alexandra, could be seen walking into the short wall outside of Audrey’s salon.

After the clip was played, Phillip said: “Somebody looked like they walked into the wall there.”

However as there was no sound playing on the clip, it would have been hard to tell if Alexandra was meant to do that or if it was an accident.

Later on, he pulled up the clip on Twitter and zoomed in on Emma. Again, there was no sound so it was hard to tell if it was a blunder or not.

As the clip was shown Holly said: “Oh yeah, well spotted you.”
