Bosses at ITV have scrapped the traditional Christmas party for the Coronation Street cast.
A James Bond-themed bash was scheduled to take place at Manchester's 235 Casino on December 12, but officials have decided to cancel it as a cost-cutting exercise.
"Everyone was looking forward to getting dressed up in black tie and Bond-girl glamour," a show insider told The People.
"It should all have been paid for by Granada - but they cancelled it rather than ask people to pay for themselves."
The source added that the cast is "up in arms" about the cancellation, saying: "Some of them are even suggesting they start working to rule from January by refusing to do any more than ten hours a day filming - even if it means abandoning scenes halfway through."
