The news comes after Corrie bosses banned kissing scenes in an attempt to prevent the coronavirus from spreading among cast members.

To keep the show running despite the outbreak producers took precautions to "limit physical contact", which means entire scenes had to be rewritten.

A source closely linked to the popular soap said: "All of the soaps are desperate to keep running.

"If they disappear out of the schedules there's huge gaps which is a major headache.

"Coronation Street shoots about six to eight weeks in advance, so viewers might see some kissing in the next month or so, but the scenes they're shooting right now will have nothing of the sort in. They are taking no chances."

The insider continued by telling The Sun Online: "The longer they can keep cast and crew well, the better, and if a storyline has to suffer slightly by losing a kiss so be it."

ITV added: "Scenes with kissing or close contact are being altered to minimise contact."

I will: it was the king's codpiece, sallying forth in full regalia. Henry VIII remains the poster boy for codpieces, those profane protuberances that drew eyes crotchward in the sixteenth century. A suit of the king's armor, boasting a bulbous codpiece weighing more than two and a half pounds, is still on display at the Tower; women used to stick pins in its sumptuous red-velvet lining to ward off barrenness.
