Coronation Street stars’ explosive clash over charging fans for video messages
Coronation Street stars got into a social media spat over whether fans should charge fans for video messages
Coronation Street stars have been fighting over charging fans for video messages.
Sally Ann Matthews and Simon Gregson’s wife Emma Gleave clashed over whether stars should charge fans for autographs.
Their spat played out on Twitter for everyone to see before their messages were deleted from social media.
Sally, who is known as Jenny Bradley on the cobbles, upheld her opinion fans should never be charged for autographs.
The actress, 49, pointed out fans shouldn’t pay for video messages either – something her co-star Simon’s wife Emma read as an attack on her husband.
She said: “We do them [autographs] for free. You should never pay for an autograph (or a video message come to that) x.”
Her co-star Simon’s wife Emma lashed out as she accused Sally of disapproving of her husband charging £30 for video greeting messages.
In a stinging jibe, she made a cutting comment laced with sarcasm about “sticking together with your work colleagues”.
She added: “Wow!!!! Nothing like sticking together with your work colleagues!”
The Mirror has approached Sally Ann Matthews and Simon Gregson’s representatives for further comment.
But Simon isn’t the only Coronation Street star cashing in on fans.
Corrie star William Roache, 88, has been charging fans for “virtual hugs” at £35.
Last year at Christmas time, Jack P. Shepherd was charging fans £3 at a meet-and-greet which included a selfie and an autograph.
