Coronation Street’s Fiz Stape hilariously compared to Ikea cushions!

The resemblance is uncanny

A Coronation Street fan has delighted star Jennie McAlpine by producing a Twitter thread comparing her legendary character Fiz Stape to Ikea cushions!

The thread show several pictures of Fiz through the years and how she matches up to a series of cushions by the Swedish home store.

Jennie herself was made aware of the pictures by another Twitter user and said it “made” her day!

The thread begins with one cushion matching the character’s coral cardigan.

Another image then throws back a long way to a young Fiz, again wearing orange, but this time a brighter shade.

There’s another matching her pink coat.

Jennie is currently on maternity leave after giving birth to her second child, Hilda, in October last year.

The actress recently confirmed she would be returning as Fiz permanently. She told the Humans of XS Manchester podcast that she plans to stay on the show for as long as she can.

“I think people either like it or they don’t like it,” she said. “And some need to leave and play other characters. I’m kind of fine playing this one character.

“The thing is you never never know and I can’t take it for granted because they might have other ideas but for now I love it.”
