FANS of Coronation Street were left hot under the collar at one character's sexy new look on the cobbles.
ITV viewers were left swooning at the TV screens on new Year's Eve thanks to Peter Barlow showing off his handsome new look complete with new glasses to rival those of Deirdre Barlow's.
After a few years of unrest for Peter on the cobbles following his relapse with alcoholism, he was left needing a liver transplant to get him back to full health.
He did not look his best during that time but now fans could not help but comment on Peter now he has a clean bill of health.
As Peter took his wife Carla out to Speed Daal for a New Year meal, he showed off his new glasses that elevated his usual look and style.
