ITV Coronation Street's Harriet Bibby responds to co-star Tony Maudsley over 'nightmare' claims

Harriet Bibby has jokingly hit back at her Coronation Street co-star after he described her as a 'nightmare' off-screen. The actress, who plays Summer Spellman in the ITV soap, got into a playful exchange with Tony Maudsley, who joined the Salford-based cast as George Shuttleworth in 2020.

Harriet, 25, found herself being tagged in a picture on Twitter about a theatre performance she is currently preparing for. The soap star revealed last month that she had bagged a role away from the cobbles. The Wigan-born star landed the role of Summer during the pandemic, making her on-screen debut at the end of the same year.

The role was recast after Matilda Freeman, who was the same age as the character, decided to leave the soap. Summer returned from her grandmother Geraldine's to discover that her former guardian Todd Grimshaw had also returned to Weatherfield after being on the run.
