Coronation Street legend sparks concern among soap fans with alarming tweet
A CORONATION Street legend has left fans concerned after posting an alarming message on social media.
Weatherfield icon Amanda Barrie was flooded with support from worried followers over the tweet on X, formerly Twitter.
Amanda, 88, posted a simple message on the platform on Wednesday afternoon that read “by”.
It immediately sparked concern with the star’s fan base as they rushed to check Amanda was OK.
One said: “You ok hun?”
A second commented: “Hoping everything is OK.”
“Hope you are OK Amanda,” said a third fan.
Amanda, who played Alma Sedgewick in the ITV soap for 20 years, did not respond to any of her concerned fans.
The star previously hit out at Coronation Street bosses for blocking her coming out as gay.
Speaking on Loose Women in 2022 with her wife Hilary Bonner, Amanda said there was “no camp of any kind at that time”.
She continued: “There was various people in charge of the show so, they call[ed] the tune. Do we call it homophobic? Call it what you like…
“What people did was they sold you to the press who thought ‘there’s a story there’.
“The press came and the very same people who would’ve done that would then say, ‘I’m not going to work with someone who’s gay.'”
