Coronation Street's Sally Ann Matthews shocked fans as she hit out at ITV in a bizarre live video rant.
The actress, 54, who plays Jenny Bradley in the long-running soap opened up about what it's like working for the production company and filming the well-known show as she answered fan questions.
During the video she claimed ITV 'has no money' and revealed the one part of the soap she 'hates' filming.
In previous years the show has filmed in various locations, although it's currently based in MediaCity in Salford, Manchester.
It was previously housed in the northern city's Granada Studios home and loyal fans of the show can even take a tour of the set on Salford Quays.
And while much of the filming is based in the studio, there have been occasions where the cast and crew have ventured out, including when Eileen Grimshaw threw Pat Phelan off a cliff and when Rita's husband Alan Bradley was killed by a tram in Blackpool.
