A well-known Coronation Street actor has found themselves at the centre of a storm after sharing a contentious post on social media. The post, which has since been deleted, drew sharp criticism from fans and fellow cast members alike.
The actor, whose identity has not been officially confirmed by ITV, allegedly shared views that many deemed offensive. While the exact content of the post remains unclear, sources suggest it touched on sensitive political issues.
Backlash from Fans and Co-Stars
Fans of the long-running soap opera were quick to express their disappointment on platforms like Twitter and Facebook. Some longtime viewers even threatened to boycott the show unless action was taken.
Behind the scenes, the situation appears equally tense. "There's definitely some awkwardness on set right now," revealed an unnamed production insider. "People are trying to stay professional, but you can feel the tension."
ITV's Response
ITV has yet to make an official statement regarding the incident. However, industry insiders speculate the broadcaster may be forced to address the growing controversy if public pressure continues to mount.
This isn't the first time a Coronation Street star has courted controversy through social media. The show's producers have previously had to mediate similar situations involving cast members' online activity.
As the story develops, all eyes remain on ITV to see how they'll handle this latest challenge to the show's reputation.
