The bosses of Coronation Street has invested heavily in the security of its live show, using air force on standby to make sure that there will be no interruptions from pranksters who may be using drones. The decision came after a man was prosecuted for flying a drone over Manchester City’s Etihad stadium.

 

The episode will be screened this week to celebrate 60 years of ITV.

 

Extra guards were also hired to stop any possible interruption that may be caused by people shouting or playing loud music from outside the studios.

 

 Last night a source said: “Security is a real concern, from yobs ruining the sound by blaring car horns to some geek flying a drone.

 

“Top brass are determined to have everything at their disposal to make sure the live episode goes without a hitch. Corrie has drones aplenty and skilled operators to take down ­anything that comes their way.”

 

In case of technical issues, the producers will cut to an ad break.
