Listen to #SaveRita Corrie campaign radio broadcast

Our youngest blogger Michael, who is on Twitter at both @MichaelAdamsUK and at @CStCollection,  was interviewed on the radio this week.

Michael spoke about the #SaveRita campaign which we took part in on Twitter this week - you can read more about that here.

He was interviewed on Radio 5 live and you can listen to it below, as Michael has kindly uploaded his interview to YouTube.  

We would like to point out that there has been no confirmation or denial by ITV that Rita is leaving, being killed off or diagnosed with a brain tumour - it's all just a tabloid rumour at the moment.

Join the Corrie fan campaign to #SaveRita

@ConversationStr

Before last night's Coronation Street episode aired, our friend Paul Lanagan at Corrie Art invited us to join together with the Corrie podcasters Conversation Street, Corriepedia and Corrie Street Collection to start a Twitter campaign to #SaveRita.

@CoroStreetBlog

We all planned in advance and decided that as soon as Rita came on screen last night, we were going to try to get #SaveRita trending on Twitter. We flooded our Twitter streams with pictures and slogans. It was a lot of fun... and it almost worked! #Rita started trending - so we were halfway there!

@CStCollection

Hundreds more Coronation Street fans joined in with the #SaveRita Twitter campaign. We're all hoping that Rita won't be written out and killed off with the brain tumour storyline that's been rumoured in The Sun. 

@CorrieArt

The #SaveRita campaign made the news!  We were all featured in Digital Spy

The campaign also made the Daily Mirror which included a Tweet from @CStCollection

And we made the Glasgow Evening Times and Radio Times too.

In addition, AndyGibsonTV has created a petition on Change.org to keep Rita in Coronation Street. You can sign it here.

ITV have neither confirmed nor denied the rumour in The Sun that Rita is being killed off. And yes, we know that there's a strong possibility that the tabloid rumour will be wrong - and I truly hope it is.

But if you'd like to get behind the fun campaign to #SaveRita add your tuppence worth on Twitter here!
