Taking to X, Melanie asked her followers: 'Corrie couple characters you'd happy wave off the cobbles. Let's do a vote. No affiliations with anyone I work with. So, who would you like to see axed immediately & which true icons needs to returned #Corrie? Pick 1 in & out & be nice! 'Maria' out for me 1st plz #taxi.'.

Samia, who has played Maria Connor on the soap since 2000, was said to be shocked by the post. A source told The Mirror: 'Samia's friends and co-stars were in utter disbelief over the tweets. 'It's astounding that somebody who represents some of Coronation Street's on-screen talent and always goes on about getting her clients work would send such a vile tweet.
