Antony, 34, says he’s alarmed at the threat but is trying to laugh it off rather than worry about it.
He wrote on his Twitter page: “What you think of me is none of my business.
“But when a friend alerts me to a post requesting someone to shoot me I am naturally alarmed.”
The star has continued to work as normal at the soap’s studios in Manchester and his bosses have been notified.
The revelation comes just weeks after Antony signed a new contract with the soap that will keep his character on the cobbles for another year.
Antony said: “I have no intention of leaving Coronation Street.
“I am very happy to be there, and as long as they are happy to have me then I don’t see any reason why I would want to leave.
“We are in very uncharted waters at the moment in all areas of business. Now would not be the time to walk away from a very successful television show, nor do I have any want or need to at the moment.”
Snoop Dogg has reportedly begged to appear on Coronation Street.
According to The Mirror, the rapper has asked his agent to get him a guest appearance on the soap.
He is quoted as saying: "I had my agent reach out to them to see if they could try to get me on and they said they were interested so hopefully it might happen. It would be perfect for me to be on the show. I've got friends around the world who always put me up on things and turn me on to things.
"11 years ago one of my friends turned me on to it. I love the whole dynamic, the way it is put together, it is my world, it is something I could fall into."
The 38-year-old is allegedly a huge fan of the programme and has been watching it for 11 years
Snoop Dogg has revealed that he wants David Beckham to appear alongside him in Coronation Street.
The rapper, who had previously revealed that he wanted a guest role in the ITV soap, admitted that he would like to appear alongside Ashley Peacock (Steve Arnold) in the butchers, reports The Sun.
"They should definitely put some Snoop Dogg in there," he said. "The butcher's will be the cool spot.
"I'd have my man David Beckham in there working with me. He's my guy."
The 38-year-old claims to be a huge fan of the Weatherfield soap.
Oh purleeeeze...I hope this is a wind-up.
Snoop Dogg :rotfl:
Rio Ferdinand has denied reports that he wants a role in Coronation Street.
Reports yesterday claimed that the Manchester United defender was keen to guest-star in the ITV1 soap so that he could help sort out "naughty" David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd).
On Twitter the 31-year-old wrote: "For your information I won't be going into Corrie contrary to reports today!! (sic)"
Rapper Snoop Dogg has also expressed an interest in appearing in the Weatherfield soap.
Keith Duffy has admitted that he would love to be offered a judging role on the Australian X Factor in the future.
The Coronation Street actor confirmed that he would be interested in following in the footsteps of his Boyzone bandmate Ronan Keating, who landed a position on the show's panel earlier this year.
Speaking to RTE, Duffy explained: "Listen, if anybody ever wanted to pay me a lump of money to go to Australia I'd be there. Of course I'd be interested. It's a great gig he's after getting out there.
"It's a huge show, it's the biggest production that's ever been put together for a show in Australia. It's going be massive.
"People must remember that Ro's been in the music business since '93. We all had six or seven years out, but Ro went off and did other things in the music business. A change is as good as a rest they say, so I think he will really enjoy it."
The Australian X Factor will launch on the Seven Network later this year....
Sue Nicholls has revealed that she intends to stay on Coronation Street for as long as possible.
Speaking to TV Times, the veteran actress - who turns 70 next week - admitted that her life away from Weatherfield is more stressful.
Nicholls, who plays Audrey Roberts, explained: "When I come through the gates of the studio, it's like coming into a different world. I think I'm a bit happier in my Weatherfield world, because I've only got to worry about Audrey.
"In the real world, when I have a free week, oh, I find it terribly exhausting and I can't cope! Ringing the accountant, having a row with BT; you have to do all that.
"I would like to get in the car while I can still drive, and travel through France and Spain - places where I went to in my youth - but that can wait. I'm a bit of a romantic but, in reality, it's trips to Sainsbury's and Marks and Spencer for me."
The cremated remains of a cat who featured in Coronation Street's title sequence for over ten years are being put up for auction.
Frisky the cat, who died in 2000 aged 14, could be seen crouching on the roof of Jack Duckworth's pigeon loft in the ITV soap's titles, the listing on Dominic Winter Auctioneers states.
"Frisky was not only a much-loved family pet, but also captured the heart of the nation and made thousands of pounds for charities," former owner John Rimington told the Wilt and Gloucestershire Standard.
"We were very proud to be his owners and we are keen to keep his memory alive".
Frisky was chosen by the soap from a selection of 5,000 cats and was seen on-screen until 2001.
The auction listing adds: "Frisky got to meet the actors on the show and until his death in 2000 at the age of 14 he earned thousands of pounds for charities by making personal appearances".
Chris Albury, from the Dominic Winter Auctioneers, said that it is the quirkiest item they have had up for auction this year.
"Frisky was synonymous with one of the nation’s favourite soaps," he said. "At this stage we're not expecting an auction room dogfight but this lot will add some light relief into the day's proceedings."
The ashes are contained in a sealed wooden casket with small brass plaque, along with a group of nine colour publicity postcards.
The lot, which is expected to sell for up to £150, goes under auction on July 22.
