Coronation Street bosses have placed a ban on cast members making any bets on the upcoming 50th anniversary live episode.
According to The Daily Star, younger cast members were planning a studio sweepstake to see who would slip up first during the live broadcast.
However, producers have stepped in to ban the idea to avoid any connection to possible TV fix scandals.
The cast will also reportedly be prohibited from drinking alcohol in the 24 hours before the live episode, and must make sure they get plenty of sleep.
Referring to possible guest stars for the episode, a source said: "The guest list for the live episode is top secret. For the 40th live episode they got Prince Charles, so it is unlikely he will make a comeback."
"But they'd love Wills and Kate (Prince William and Kate Middleton) as that would be a tremendous coup. With the couple living on Anglesey in North Wales, they are just down the road from the Manchester studios."
