VICKY Entwistle went on a shock rant against Coronation Street in a now-deleted post.
The actress, 56, took to social media to take aim at Coronation Street – after leaving the soap in March 2011.
Vicky – who joined Corrie as Janice Battersby in 1997 – wrote: “Everyone thinks it’s a soap opera but actually it’s a tightly gripped cult!!!
“My husband begged me to leave two years before.
“He hated the controlling environment. When I finally left we cried.”
Vicky added: “The freedom was electric.”
The Sun has contacted reps for Coronation Street and Vicky for comment.
It’s not the first time this year Vicky has hit out at the show.
A controversial dead baby storyline involving Janice’s daughter Toyah [Georgia Taylor] caused Vicky to take to social media to have her say.
Referencing Janice’s husband Les Battersby, she wrote: “Well we tried to make our moments as real as they could possible be, didn’t we Bruce?!
“I guess we failed. Who knew [that] digging up dead babies would become the highlight of ITV’s tea time slot!!!”
In 2022 Vicky furiously claimed she was retiring from acting after a series of unsuccessful auditions.
She said at the time: “Just had a few Zoom auditions. Half of me thinks I’m lucky.. the other half thinks.. any feed back cocky b******s!!”
In another post she said: “It’s just cost me £80 in petrol.
“Most of the time they don’t even acknowledge you even turned up!! The respect has flown from this industry! I gonna retire!”
