Vicar Billy Mayhew couldn't help comment: "It's not the most conventional song I've ever heard in here."

Christina Aguilera and Pussycat songs also played during the service - and viewers found it hilarious.

One viewer commented: "Only on #corrie would you hear Bootylicious at a funeral. @itvcorrie".

And others pleaded for Bootylicious to be played at their funeral.

One tweeted: "Bootylicious is defo in the running for my funeral song! #Corrie ????????"

A viewer wrote: "Kylie's fune is my dream fune. Bootylicious blaring as I'm carried up the aisle #corrie".

While another would have loved to see a bit more Gail: "I’d have given good money for the camera to have panned down to Gail twerking on top of the coffin to Bootylicious. #corrie".

But Corrie fans also rushed to praise 11-year-old actor Harry McDermott, who plays Max, in tonight's episode.

Many demanded that the young star win an award for his heartbreaking speech.
