Coronation Street fans left baffled over Izzy Armstrong’s Star Trek ‘fancy dress’
Could it be a subtle homage to the science fiction series' 50th anniversary by writers?
CORONATION Street fans were left baffled after watching tonight's episode, which seemed to feature Izzy Armstrong wearing Star Trek "fancy dress".
That is, a jumper that looked remarkably similar to the one worn by William Shatner as Captain Kirk.
The machinist, played by Cherylee Houston, was at work in Underworld when a number of eagle-eyed viewers spotted the similarity.
Considering the fact that it was Star Trek's 50th anniversary earlier this month, the reference could be a homage to the science fiction series.
Many questioned whether she was about to audition for a new series of the sci fi franchise.
One tweeted: "Izzy trying her best to look like an extra out of Star Trek - The Original Series. #Corrie"
While another simply wrote: "Izzy's dressed like she's about to audition for Star Trek!"
Another joked: "Has Izzy got a side job on the Star Trek enterprise #corrie".
Others were convinced that the character was about to go off to a convention.
A fan commented: "Is Izzy going to a star trek convention in tonight's #Corrie she has the uniform on! @itvcorrie"
And some were just bemused as to why she had "turned up to work dressed as a character from Star Trek".

Another exclaimed: "Why does Izzy look like she just filmed an episode of Star Trek?! #Corrie #thisis2016 #badfashion".
This isn't the first time fans have thought that they have spotted an "ode" to Star Trek by Corrie writers and producers this year.
Back in July, a number of Corrie viewers spotted David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) donning a Star Trek-like mustard jumper as he sipped on a mug of tea.
