Coronation Street stars have been ordered to behave in future or face the sack, reports claim.
According to the Daily Star, show bosses have set out their intention to warn the cast after Sue Cleaver and Ryan Thomas were punished for driving offences last week.
"They have been told to keep their heads down and stay out of trouble. It's a case of sober up and take your job and your position seriously or get going," a source said.
"[New Executive Producer Phil Collinson] won't let people compromise the show by doing stupid things. He wants to keep Coronation Street the best soap around and if that means coming down hard, then so be it," the insider added.
