This Morning's Sharon Marshall was forced to apologise after she appeared to announce a Coronation Street star's exit.
The "Soap Queen" regularly appears on ITV's flagship daytime programme to share the latest news from the Cobbles. Corrie writers have tackled a number of dark storylines in recent weeks as it has addressed important issues such as stalking and non-consensual sex.
Sharon defended the show from fans who said they have brought too many dark plots to the show at once as she lifted the lid on some comedy storylines on the way. She told broadcasters, Holly Willoughby and Joel Dommett: "People are saying 'we want the humour' and the humour is still absolutely there.
