CAI make gas leak warning following 'Coronation Street' scene

Experts are warning that gas leaks pose a huge threat to home-owners this Christmas, and can in many cases be fatal.

It comes after viewers last night watched, as popular Coronation Street character Fiz was left fighting for her life following a gas leak in her home.

The Consumer Association of Ireland says there are at least 10,000 gas boilers illegally installed across the country, many of which could be seriously dangerous.
