Project manager Tim hosted fellow competitors Amanda, Danielle and Fiona.

It turned out Tim's sister is none other than , who stars as Jenny Bradley in the ITV soap.

Posting to X, the actress penned: “It's been two years and I still don't know if my brother won #comedinewithme. Finale time! x”.

A fan wrote: “Just watched tonight, great scores for your bro.”

To which Sally Ann replied: “I can't believe it !! My recipes though x.”

In the episode, Tim surprised his fellow contestants by revealing his celebrity relative.

First teasing he has “a famous sister”, he also hinted “she's a redhead” and “pulls pints on ITV.”

Fiona exclaimed “Shut up!” after Sally-Ann was identified, telling the cameras: “I can't believe that Jenny from is Tim's sister.”

Ultimately, Tim emerged triumphant, tying with fellow contestant Amanda.

Sally Ann, 54, originally played Jenny full-time from 1986 to 1991.

After a short stint in 1993, she returned in 2015 and has remained ever since.

It comes as eagle-eyed Corrie fans in Jenny's storyline.

During her time off-screen, the character married a man named Gregory Midgeley and had a son named Tom together.

He tragically drowned in a paddlingpoolwhen he was just four-years-old.

This was understood to have occurred after Jenny left him unattended when gettingfrom her bag in order to buy ice-cream.

Although Tom's death was previously described, Jenny was believed to be on her own when it happened.

However, Jenny was shown blaming his death on Daisy (), claiming he was left in her care when she was just 16-years-old.

Questioning the change, a viewer wrote on Reddit: “The way Tom's death was described up until now made it out like Jenny was the only one there.

“Now I know Daisy didn't exist in 2015, but this changes quite a lot?”

Another penned: “Even on Daisy’s side it doesn’t make sense if she had been in the garden then wouldn’t she have blamed her self or conclude Jenny blamed her especially given they didn’t speak for years after.”

While a third noted: : “When it was mentioned then [in 2016], thepolicesaid (to Kevin & Sophie) that he died because Jenny left him completely unattended.

” It was all related to her and now suddenly she’s blaming it all on Daisy? It makes no sense.”
