Corrie extra gets the sack

A Coronation Street extra has been given the sack after calling some of the cast 'rubbish' live on national radio. 

The Manchester Evening News reports that Corrie background artiste Spencer May was given the boot after ringing in to the Jeremy Vine radio show just before he was due to play a victim in the Corrie tram crash in December last year.  He was criticial of some of the show's cast but didn't name names. 

Granada TV confirmed that the Spencer’s contract had been terminated by his agency. A spokesman said: "Mr May was in breach of contract. It is an unfortunate situation."

However, reading the article at the M.E.N. what really shocked this Corrie fan was the news that Corrie extras can earn up to £180 a day!  £180! A day! Where do I sign up?
