Coronation Street viewers did not hold back the jokes after Sally Metcalfe was arrested while dressed as clown.
The character, played by Sally Dynevor, was arrested after con man Duncan tried to frame her for a scam in which he pocketed £40,000 from the council.
Unluckily for Sally, the police caught up with her when she was dressed up as a clown to help out at a family fun day.
This is no joke!
