Speaking to Joe about filming in the heat, Megan said: "Well, we weren't allowed to know the actual degrees. "We knew nothing!" In shock, Joe reacted: "What a strange bit of information to with hold!" Megan said back: "But I can tell you that I was dripping in sweat. "It was really un-sexy when we were trying to flirt with everyone." Megan's admission came after she addressed rumours of a divide between the girls on this year's show.

On a thread titled 'The Mean Girls trio - Meg, Megan and Helena' on social media fan forum site Reddit, fans fumed that Meg, Megan and Helena were being respectful to the rest of the girls. One viewer claimed: "I'm really not liking the bully-ish vibes coming from the cliquey trio of Meg, Megan, and Helena. 4 The star was axed from the villa despite finding a connection with Conor Credit: Shutterstock Editorial "They tried it with Shakira at the start, but she knew how to handle them." Addressing the claims with ITV's The Rundown, Megan, insisted that the divide on-screen was not the same in real life. Podcast host Daniel Ajose suggested that it seemed that "friendship groups were constantly beating each other. Megan admitted: "Do you know what? Being in there, it doesn't feel like that whatsoever. "Of course, like, the girls have the ones they'd naturally gravitate towards, like, you're just naturally close to people. "It's like school, everyone's not like sisters holding hands. But that being said, in there doesn't feel like that whatsoever."

Axed Coronation Street star hints his character HASN'T been killed off and could make shock return to soap
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AXED Coronation Street star has dropped a major hint that his character is not dead in a shock twist. Corrie's PC Craig Tinker might not be out for the count just yet - actor Colson Smith has teased his character could survive the brutal attack that left him motionless. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 PC Tinker was attacked with a baseball bat - but is that the end for him? Credit: ITV 6 Actor Colson Smith has teased there's more to come Credit: ITV Fans of the ITV soap were left shocked as the beloved character was brutally attacked and left for dead in Monday's episode. The much-loved Weatherfield resident was caught in a violent showdown, which left their life hanging in the balance. Viewers saw Mick Michaelis go on a furious rampage after finding out that 16-year-old Brody might not be his biological son. Mick turned violent as he demanded answers from wife Lou Michaelis about her past with their former pal, Kit Green. Viewers got an upsetting insight into Lou's domestic abuse from Mick - which left the residents on the cobbles worried for Lou's safety. Meanwhile, Craig was determined to prove himself on the first day of his CID training. He pulled over Mick at the Weatherfield Precinct for drink-driving. Hellbent on getting revenge on Kit, Mick violently attacked Craig with a bat and left him for dead. However, the actor has hinted that his character Craig could be very much still be alive. Taking to X - formerly Twitter - Colson wrote: "He's just sleeping…" after the episode aired last night. Coronation Street star addresses future after 15 years on the cobbles One fan replied: "You better just be sleeping!! I'm gonna have a mega tantrum if you don't come back from this!!" Another added: "If this is how you leave it's unacceptable, national tragedy #Corrie #coronationstreet" A third joked: "Lazy bugger, sleeping on the job!!" Wednesday's episode of Corrie will see Craig rushed to hospital and desperately try to make his police colleagues aware of who was responsible for attacking him. Colson said: "I can't wait for people to see Craig's final scenes. It is exactly the exit I wanted for him and we are all really proud of what we filmed in those final weeks. "It was actually great fun. I was walking around covered in fake blood for days and I was chuffed that I got to work with so many brilliant people in this final storyline." Back in March, The Sun revealed how Colson's character Craig would be killed off in a dramatic storyline. A source told us: "Craig has grown up on the street and he's become part of it so it was a tough decision to make but one that will be worth it. "PC Tinker will meet his maker in heroic circumstances this summer and there won't be a dry eye in the house when it goes out. "Colson is taking it well and there's a real feeling that this chapter is closing for him and there are bigger and brighter things ahead." The 26-year-old actor was one of several stars who have been axed from the ITV soap. Corrie is gearing up for a number of exits for some iconic characters this summer, including Eileen Grimhshaw is set to exit the cobbles with actress Sue Cleaver quitting the soap after an incredible 25 years. The soap has already seen several characters depart the cobbles from the likes of Daisy Midgeley to Mason Radcliffe. ITV is facing a financial crisis due to soaring production costs, a decline in advertising revenue, and a drop in viewing figures, leading to budget cuts and cast departures. Consequently, the broadcaster is reducing the length of both Coronation Street and Emmerdale episodes from hour-long to 30-minute installments, starting in January 2026. This change will create a "soaps power hour" where Emmerdale airs at 8pm, followed by Coronation Street at 8:30pm each weeknight. But with ratings falling and viewers switching to streamers like Netflix, more soap stars are fearing the axe - should they be worried? Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 or stream from 7am on ITVX. 6 Colson addressed his on-screen exit Credit: X/@colsonsmith 6 Can Craig pull through?
