The soaps can often be quite a difficult and miserable watch, so thank goodness for the fans out there who can find the fun and the mirth in the likes of Coronation Street and EastEnders.

Look no further than here for what had us laughing in soapland this week?

It wasn’t the first time – Talk of the Street even had a rolling montage. Now there is one final addition to the mix
