Coronation Street actor Andy Whyment, who plays much-loved character Kirk Sutherland in the ITV soap, has denied rumours of a cast revolt - and his co-stars have chimed in too.
"There is a story about @coronationstreet in the press nearly every day at the moment," he exclaimed as he took to Instagram to share his response. "I'd just like to say that the show is not on its knees and there is most certainly not a cast revolt as one article has said."
His co-star Jane Hazlegrove, who's well known for her role as Bernie Winter, wrote back: "Well b**ody said! Brilliant bunch of kind clever creatives both in front of the camera and behind! Away with the negativity!" Andy agreed: "So true!"
Jane Danson, who's had a huge storyline recently with her character Leanne Battersby getting brainwashed by a cult called The Institute, also had her say. Amen to that," she wrote, punctuating her words with a love heart emoji.
Vicky Myers, who is also known as policewoman DSI Swain and having an on-screen affair with Carla Connor (Alison King), added: "Absolutely!! Well said Andy. xx"
Talk of a revolt first began when news emerged about a cast shake-up , with familiar faces set to leave the cobbles amid a ratings dip.
Luca Toolan, who plays Mason Radcliffe, Sue Cleaver (Eileen Grimshaw), Colson Smith (Craig Tinker), Charlotte Jordan (Daisy Midgeley) are all leaving in 2025.
