Coronation Street bosses have warned fans not to fall for fake adverts asking for people to be extras on the ITV soap.
An ad has appeared on social media offering paid background work for 200 people on the soap, with free accommodation and travel also part of the deal.
It says organisers are looking for people who “have what it takes to look good in the background of soap” and who are available to start in August.
A spokesman said: “We only book our extras – or walks-on – from reputable casting agents, so they are the people to contact for any extras work.
“These ads are fake and people should not be taken in by them.”
