CORONATION STREET STAR LEAVES LORRAINE KELLY SPEECHLESS—WHAT DID JAMES CARTWRIGHT SAY ON LIVE TV? Viewers were left open-mouthed as James Cartwright dropped an unexpected bombshell during his chat with Lorraine. With speculation now running wild, everyone’s desperate to know what really happened behind the scenes.

“My confession is that you’re my celebrity crush,” he said to a shocked Lorraine, adding that he had been a fan of the presenter since he was “in shorts” and she was “in shoulder pads”.

“I remember I’d sit with my grandma, and we’d sit and watch you on telly,” explained the actor. “Oh gosh, you’re brilliant, you’re bright, you’re effervescent… Anyway, I had to tell you that.”

The line came as a surprise to Lorraine, who initially exclaimed: “oh, behave.” After Cartwright recalled his story, the presenter responded: “Oh, bless you! Weird celebrity crushes. That’s funny.”

While Cartwright shared an amusing story with Lorraine, his character – who first appeared on the soap in March – recently displayed a darker side following a misunderstanding with Todd.

After seeing his partner cosying up with James Bailey, Theo initially appeared to be understanding as he didn’t make a big deal of their near-kiss. This proved to be a façade, however, as he later threatened James to stay away from Todd.

The development came amid a tumultuous storyline involving Theo’s daughter Millie, who had claimed that she was pregnant. This turned out to be a lie, however, as the teenager simply wanted her father to return home.
