Coronation Street's on-set nurse manager Corinne McParland has been suspended after drugs went missing from the studio's medical centre.
The News of the World reports that McParland could be sacked and investigated by police after a colleague claimed that sleeping pills disappeared from a secure cupboard. The nurse, who has worked on the show for 20 years, denies any wrongdoing and Corrie's stars are said to be shocked at her treatment.
A source said: "Corinne's phone has been ringing off the hook with messages of support. No one believes the allegations. And Corinne says her conscience is clear."
McParland is said to be adored by the cast, and has helped to treat actors such as Sally Dynevor (Sally Webster), Bev Callard (Liz McDonald) and Bill Tarmey (Jack Duckworth).
Earlier this year, Whittaker said of the nurse: "Corinne's been brilliant throughout my [cancer] treatment and I can't thank her enough for being there for me."
Granada said: "An investigation is under way."
