CORONATION Street fans were left shocked after finding out the incredible age gap between Audrey Roberts and Gail Platt.
The pair have become iconic residents of the cobbles over the decades.
However, Coronation Street viewers were stunned when they discovered their baffling age gap off-screen.
During Wednesday's instalment of the Manchester-based program, viewers realised the lack of difference between Sue and Helen's ages.
The stars are only seven years apart as Sue celebrated her 78th birthday on November 23, 2021, while Helen blew out her own candles, as a 71-year-old, on January 7, 2022.
Jumping on to social media, many viewers have shared their astonishment.
"Just checked, in real life Audrey is 78 and Gail is 71!", one of them wrote as a second agreed: "They both look amazing!"
Another Corrie fan tweeted: "They both look great for their age!"
