Chris Fountain’s future at Coronation Street looks in doubt after it emerged that he was the rapper behind a song about rape and violence.
The actor is said to be meeting show bosses on Monday to discuss his behaviour which could, despite his apology, cost him his job.
A source told The Mirror: “Chris’s career on the soap is hanging by a thread at the moment”
“These videos have disgusting lyrics and have only created negative publicity for ITV and Corrie so he has a lot of explaining to do.”
Chris, who has played Tommy Duckworth for two years now, was suspended on Thursday after it was discovered that he was the rapper behind the vile song.
But while he might survive the crisis talks at the beginning of next week, he could be axed early next year.
The show insider explained: “His contract only lasts until February so if he doesn’t go now, he may be dropped more quietly in a few months.”
