Corrie bosses respond to cross claims

Bosses at 'Coronation Street' have said that they did not intentionally obstruct a church cross during filming.

Digital Spy reports the Corrie chiefs have rejected claims that they removed the cross for fear of causing offence.

Following the reports the programme makers carried out a full investigation.
A spokesperson said "Contrary to claims that the programme's producers wanted the cross moving as they were worried its inclusion would offend people, what actually happened was that they wanted to move the cross so that it was not hidden.

"A member of crew knew that they were dressing the set with candles and flowers and knew this would obstruct the view of the cross. A member of church staff was asked if the cross could be moved."

The incident occurred during the filming of the wedding of characters Molly and Tyrone which was broadcast earlier this week.
