 she'd spoil him rotten. However, George and even Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) were uneasy around the new Eileen. Meanwhile, on social media, ITV viewers were happy to see the character at peace and couldn't help but make a reference to actress Sue Cleaver's upcoming stint in I'm A Celebrity. The soap star was seen touching down in Australia, in the early hours of Wednesday morning for the next series of the reality show. The crossover of two ITV programs amused Corrie fans. "Eileen looks so beautiful when she's like this, she suits being happy", one viewer commented as another joked: "Eileen is glowing like the Australian Sun gleaming off the Gold Coast." A third viewer added: "Was Eileen's out of body experience and bright light by any chance her parachuting out of the I'm A Celebrity helicopter to a waiting camera?!" "George doesn't need to take Eileen to the hospital. She'll be fine when she gets back from Australia", quipped another. One fan wrote: "Eileen is not herself, she could do with a holiday. Australia maybe?" "Eileen actually looks nice when she smiles", a viewer gushed but another disagreed: "This new side of Eileen is scary." It soon became clear why Eileen was so happy as she opened up about her near-death experience which followed Monday's pumpkin mishap. Everyth){kind=link}
