Presenter Chris Tarrant said: "I always think that the celebrities who come on the show are incredibly brave and my heart is usually in my mouth for them!
It's bad enough when you're gambling with your own money but when the money at stake is for charity it's terrifying.
It's never as easy when you get out there as it looks at home."
You can catch the special Corrie edition on ITV1 on August 16.
