Coronation Street star speaks out after sparking on-set feud rumours
Coronation Street star Jane Hazlegrove has spoken out after sparking rumours of an on-set feud. It was thought by some that the actor, who plays Bernie Winter-Alahan on the ITV soap, was taking aim at a co-star following a social media post.
On Monday (17 August), Hazlegrove shared a photo on Instagram, with the text reading: "Booking the role isn't the end of the job interview. How you behave after you're hired matters too."

"Haven't been visible for a long long time! But this post makes total sense! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? As my Dad used to say you are only as good as your last performance! Be nice! And if you can't be nice… step away … cos people see," she added.
While some thought the star was referring to another actor from Corrie, which could indicate some trouble behind the scenes of the soap, Hazlegrove later cleared up the rumours in the comment section.
"Just for clarification this post is NOT about anyone I am currently working with at Coronation Street. It's a gentle reminder to be kind and professional at all times!" she confirmed.
Meanwhile, her co-star Jack P Shepherd, who plays David Platt, took the opportunity to make a joke, asking: "This is me isn't it?" Hazlegrove replied with a number of laughing faces, adding: "soz pal you don't win this one!!! No it's bloody not!!!"
The actor has recently been missing from the cobbles, alongside her on-screen husband Jimmi Harkishin (who plays Dev Alahan). However, Bernie returns home next week, and is shocked to see her estranged auntie Celeste.
It's clear that there's some tension between the pair, as Bernie gives her the cold shoulder even after Todd Grimshaw reveals that Celeste is dying. Will they manage to bury the hatchet before it's too late?
Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
