She asked him: "So do you wanna go out for your birthday tomorrow?" But Chesney has a lot on his mind, as he's facing eviction from his lifelong home on Coronation Street.
His family received notice that they would be booted from their beloved house after making a complaint about the landlord to the council . With the weight of his family resting on his shoulders, Chesney made it clear that he was in no mood to celebrate. He replied: "Can't afford it, can we?", despite the fact that Bernie was still keen for celebrations to take place.
