Coronation Street walk-on artist fired after selfie on set

OHMYGOSSIP — A ‘Coronation Street’ walk-on artist has been fired from his acting agency after he had a selfie with Andi Peters on the show’s set.
Matthew Davidge was axed from Industry Model Management after he used his mobile phone on set, which isn’t allowed, and a spokesperson for the ITV soap said the agency “decided on a course of action”.
A ‘Corrie’ spokesperson said: “A walk-on artist was seen breaching filming protocols and his agent was notified. They decided on a course of action.
“Andi Peters was not aware of this complaint.”
Matthew has been lost for words over his firing, and he is concerned how he will pay his bills.
He told The Sun newspaper: “I’m speechless. I’ve worked on the set of ‘Corrie’ on and off since 1986. I’ve never had a complaint and I’ve loved every minute of it. Now, it’s all over.
“You’re not supposed to have your phone out on set but everyone does. It’s a rule that’s never really been enforced.
“When I asked him for a photograph it was all a bit of a laugh and he smiled and said, ‘No problem’.
“The whole interaction took less than a minute. Now I don’t know how I’m going to pay my bills.”
Matthew is said to have spotted ‘Good Morning Britain’ star Andi on the show’s set on Friday (08.04.22), and one of his ‘GMB’ colleagues took the picture with Andi’s permission.
The TV presenter was at the ‘Corrie’ studios – which is based in Salford Quays, Greater Manchester – to shoot a competition.
