But recently actors such as Alison King and Kate Ford have been impersonated online.

Broadcasters became concerned that the people running the fake accounts would use them to get money out of fans.

ITV shared a cautionary message, saying: “Please be mindful that the Coronation Street and Emmerdale actors are often impersonated on social media by scammers who set up fake accounts on platforms such as Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok and Telegram.

“As producers of both programmes, we feel we should warn viewers that this is happening, and noticeably more frequently of late.

“Please take great care when conversing on social media and be vigilant about these fake accounts by reporting them to the appropriate platform.”

Alison King is known for playing Carla Connor on Corrie.

She recently revealed that her daughter is being trained in acting school by other legends from the cobbles.

When asked about how the show works for her as a working mum, the British Soap Award winner couldn’t help but gush about the production.

“It means everything, being able to do this and also being able to bring up my child and see her most nights and weekends is incredible,” she gushed.

She also admitted that it still serves as an inspiration for her daughter Daisy, 15 who wants to follow in her mum’s footsteps and get into acting.

“It inspires Daisy to follow the path she wants to take, it can be a tricky industry but there’s nothing that Daisy loves more than to go to her acting school on a Saturday.”

She added: “She goes to Actor Tribe with Jennifer James (who played Geena Gregory) and Lee Boardman (Jez Quigley) there’s just nothing more inspiring than that.”
