Soap stars tweeted pictures of the revamped pub, which was set alight by Weatherfield bad boy Karl Munro - played by John Michie - last month.

*A show insider told a UK newspaper: 'The Twitter stuff has been getting out of hand recently, with people posting all kinds of photos which could be detrimental to the show.’
'The bosses would rather people didn’t know what the Rovers looks like ahead of time, and these snaps clearly blew that.'
The source added: 'Mobile phones are not allowed on set as part of general studio protocol.’
Simon Gregson - known as cabbie Steve McDonald – posted a photo of his ‘Naughty friends at work’ Kym Lomas (Michelle Connor), Craig Charles (Lloyd Mullaney) and Alison King (Carla Connor) eating peanuts in the new look Rovers, ignoring the rule disallowing mobile phones on set.

Simon seemed to know he was causing trouble when he posted the photo with the caption: 'Naughty friends at work I give it 3 minutes before we're told off (sic).'
Another of the photos shows Tony Hirst sitting in the newly decorated pub, which has sparked rumours that his character Paul might leave the street following the traumatic death of his friend and colleague Toni and his breakup with Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver).

The entire set of the soap is currently being rebuilt in the Salford area of Manchester, north west England, to give it a fresh look.
