Twisted: Coronation Street viewers were left horrified during Friday night’s installment of the soap as evil Geoff Metcalfe tricked his wife Yasmeen Nazir into eating her own pet chicken
Earlier in the episode, Geoff threw Yasmeen’s home-cooked stew in the bin after complaining it had ‘no meat’.
After she explained that she had ‘ran out of money’ to buy extra ingredients, Geoff didn’t listen to reason as he emptied her meal into the rubbish.
The character then fumed at his wife to get upstairs as he told her he’d cook another meal instead.
He was then seen heading outside with a bucket of chicken feed as he sinisterly said: ‘Here Charlotte. Come to Uncle Geoff.’

The couple later sat down to dinner, with Yasmeen commenting on the ‘tender’ chicken as Geoff cruelly watched on.
Hinting at his horrible trick, after pushing his wife to compliment the dish, he then said: ‘Good, I thought she might be a bit dry being an older bird.’
As the penny slowly dropped for Yasmeen, Geoff added: ‘Well at least she’s fed us one last time. I’d like to raise a toast to Charlotte. ‘
Horrified over eating her beloved bird, Yasmeen spat her food out onto her plate before running out of the room in tears.

It comes days after Coronation Street has sparked more than 100 complaints to media watchdog Ofcom, as Yasmeen continues to be tormented by her twisted husband Geoff.
In upsetting scenes Yasmeen has been left in tears due to her husband’s controlling behaviour, including claiming that she was an alcoholic, confiscating her credit cards, and even forcing her to eat from the rubbish bin.
Four episodes of Corrie ranging from 15th January to 5th February have sparked 146 complaints to media watchdog Ofcom.
A peak of 74 complaints came at the start of February, as upsetting scenes saw Yasmeen crying out in horror after Geoff (played by Ian Bartholomew) trapped her in his magician’s box.
A spokesperson for Ofcom told MailOnline: ‘We are assessing the complaints against our broadcasting rules, but are yet to decide whether or not to investigate.’
