Coronation Street fans have said they were 'cringing' as they called out 'silly' Daisy Midgeley for her mistake. The barmaid, played by Charlotte Jordan, has faced her stalker in court as Justin Rutherford finally faced his fate for the horrific acid attack.

Ryan and Carla Connor were appalled to see Justin’s sister in the Rovers and a row ensued. Throwing insults, Ryan reminded Daisy of how she went out of her way to split him up from his ex Alya Nazir. Karen admitted that she had passed on what she gleaned about Daisy’s history of manipulation to Justin’s lawyer, leaving Ryan, initially too distraught to face the court.

As the guilty verdict came in, Justin looked stunned as Ryan, Daisy and the others cheered with relief.
Justin was led away by officers and told he would be sentenced at a later date, while it's not known if Justin will feature in any more
