'Cost of living crisis' hits Coronation Street

A ‘cost of living crisis’ has hit Coronation Street as fans have been left outraged over the price of a single rose in Monday’s episode of the ITV soap. Toyah Battersby bought a single yellow rose from the local florists, and it cost £4.50.

Toyah's dramatic reaction

Toyah became distressed after finding Internet sleuths digging up part of the Red Rec and she attacked their car with a spade. Thankfully, Nick Tilsley arrived and hurried her away before she could do any more damage, but questions arose about her overreaction in the park.
