The exit is only temporary! (Pictures: ITV)

Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) received quite a few surprises during tonight’s Christmas episode of Coronation Street.

Absolutely, in no way at the top of her Christmas list was receiving a coffin for a present – but that’s what happened.

Again.

This was down to George (Tony Maudsley), who thought he had ordered Eileen a posh new sofa for the big day.

There wasn’t anything big about this sofa, as the delivery driver dropped off the new piece of furniture…which turned out to be for a doll’s house.

Unsure on what to do, George resulted in stuffing a coffin with loads of pillows and topping it with blankets, which made it seem as though he had bought Eileen a sofa after all.

While the reveal ruined Eileen’s mood, she was left positively stunned after being sent an e-ticket from Jason (Ryan Thomas) – her son.

Jason had nailed the present this year, gifting Eileen with the opportunity to spend one month in Thailand with him!

Yep!

Eileen will end up leaving the cobbles for Thailand in order to account for Sue Cleaver’s temporary exit from the show, who headed to Australia back in November for ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.

As far as Christmas presents go, Jason nailed this one.
