Tracy Shaw had phone between her 'butt cheeks' during Coronation Street death

Tracy Shaw had to lay with a phone between her "bum cheeks" when she was killed off of \'Coronation Street\' 16 years ago.

The 45-year-old actress played Maxine Peacock on the ITV soap between 1995 and 2003, where she was eventually brutally killed by Brian Capron\'s character Richard Hillman.

And during an appearance on \'Loose Women\' on Friday (28.06.19), Tracy discovered she had been laying on the floor once Maxine had been killed with a phone on her bum, after Brian had accidentally knocked one off the desk on set.

Panellist Andrea McLean revealed: "He said that his phone flew out of his pocket when he was filming that final scene and it landed in your bum cheeks."

To which a shocked Tracy replied: "Such a fibber, I don\'t remember that at all. In my bum cheeks? He\'s a cheeky monkey. He was doing that for viewing figures weren\'t he?"

But the actress got the chance to ask her on-screen killer in person, as the panellists then revealed Brian was coming on the show to be reunited with Tracy, 16 years after their final scenes together.

And he explained: "Well it is true, you probably don\'t remember it, but I came off thinking that was terrific.

"I expected everyone to go \'come on mate\' and they were all laughing. I said: \'What was so funny?\' And they said: \'Have a look.\'

"It was when I cleared the desk, one of those normal phones went up and it had landed in between your bum cheeks."

Tracy then asked if anybody had told her at the time about the mishap, and Brian added: "Nobody told you, they removed it discreetly but you had to lay there for ages."

Elsewhere during her time on the talk show, Tracy praised the "brilliant writers" that work on \'Corrie\'.

She said: "There are brilliant writers on Corrie. We were always having a good laugh on that show. I went back recently to see some people and it was quite breathtaking."
