Classic Corrie Christmas Moments Countdown - Day 7

The Advent season is upon us once again, and the ITV Coronation Street website are releasing classic clips of classic Corrie Christmases of bygone years. 

Today, they're going back 4 years to Christmas Day 2010. Here's what the website says:

"In 2010 Tracy curtly informed Becky that she was taking Amy to live with her. It didn't take long for a fight to break out between the two - which played right into Tracy's hands."

4 years later, and Tracy still loves to rile her rivals.
