I totally agree with her comments tbh, don't see what's so controversial about what she said. Her character in Corrie was s**t though anyway

Coronation Street actress Claire King has allegedly been fired after making a handful of controversial comments.

The celeb is also a spokesperson for Smart Energy and has reportedly been relieved of her position there.

According to Ok!Magazine, the actress, who plays Erica Holyroyd in Corrie has been fired from her position on the cast.



The comments in question relate to her saying that she would consider assisted suicide if she became a ‘burden’ to her friends and family.

The actress was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and said in an interview;

‘I can understand why people choose assisted dying – and it’s getting to the point where I would consider it myself. I’m not going to be hurting any offspring as I haven’t got any.’

She also criticised the government by saying that she thinks carers have been let down in regards to money, support and money.
