Corrie actresses 'fine' after accident

A spokesman for Coronation Street has played down an on-set accident involving Vicky Entwistle and Katy Cavanagh.

Earlier today, it was reported that Entwistle and Cavanagh were injured during the filming of a fight scene.

The incident occurred when Entwistle's character Janice Battersby had to throw a chair at Cavanagh's Julie Carp and pin her to a wall in the Underworld factory.

However, a representative for the soap told the Manchester Evening News that the actresses only sustained minor injuries and were able to continue filming shortly after.

He explained: "Vicky got a splinter in her hand and Katy hurt the inside of her mouth slightly. She had an ice pack briefly and both carried on filming."
