A CORRIE extra who has worked on set for 36 years has been fired for using his mobile for a selfie with Andi Peters.
Matthew Davidge, 54, had nipped to the loo during filming on Friday when he spotted the صباح الخير بريطانيا مضيف, 52.
Andi, who was filming a competition, agreed to pose for the photo as a GMB film crew colleague took the picture.
But on Monday Matthew was fired from his acting agency, Industry Model Management.
The agency said he breached the terms of his contract which bans actors from using their mobiles on set.
ماثيو, of Bolton, has dozens of selfies with stars and says the rule was not implemented before.
