EXCLUSIVE: It comes as bosses fear angry actors will leave the show if they are unable to sign lucrative deals. We revealed how Jack P Shepherd, who plays David Platt, was fined for promoting a hair transplant on Instagram
Coronation Street bosses have relaxed their ban on stars sharing endorsements for goods and services on social media.
It comes amid fears of an exodus of actors angry they cannot sign lucrative deals in exchange for an online thumbs-up.
We revealed how Jack P Shepherd, who plays David Platt, was fined for promoting a hair transplant on Instagram .
A Corrie source said: “It had been a long-standing bone of contention.
“The cast have been told they can now plug stuff they’ve been gifted or got a discount on – but they need to run things past bosses first.
“The news has been a long time coming but has gone down well.”

Stars are still banned from endorsements which would compromise the show’s existing commercial tie-ups.
It is claimed the change is an attempt to stop stars leaving – Corrie has seen a number of a departures over the past year, including Kym Marsh and Lucy Fallon.
Jack, 32 – whose salary is £250,000 a year – released a video about his hair procedure at a Manchester clinic. Dad-of-three Jack had 3,000 separate implants into his scalp after suffering dramatic hair-loss.
A source at the time said: “Jack got a real dressing-down. He was told he was being fined. It was a couple of thousand.”

CONOR MCGREGOR AND COWBOY CERRONE MEET FOR FIRST FACE OFF
The UFC promotion returns to London this year with some thrilling fights and promising domestic talent on show in the capital
The UFC is back in London as the best talent from Europe and beyond are given the chance to showcase their credentials.
Previous events have seen the likes of Anderson Silva, Michael Bisping and Jimi Manuwa take to the Octagon in the capital.
Darren Till headlined last year as he was knocked out by Jorge Masvidal in the second round - and the Liverpudlian could return this year having moved up to middleweight.
But the headline act will be Leon Edwards taking on former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley while other fighters who have been confirmed for the card include Stevie Ray, Darren Stewart, Marc Diakiese and Molly McCann.
The main event has yet to be confirmed but here is everything we know about UFC London so far...

Fight card

Darren Stewart vs Marvin Vettori
Paul Craig vs Ryan Spann
Gabriel Benítez vs Lerone Murphy
Tom Aspinall vs Raphael Pessoa Nunes
John Phillips vs Dusko Todorovic
Molly McCann vs Ashlee Evans-Smith
Latest news
Molly McCann will return to action against Ashlee Evans-Smith at UFC London.
The flyweight's last two fights - victories over Diana Belbiţa and Ariane Lipski - have been on the road.
But McCann will have home advantage against Evans-Smith who has lost three of her last four bouts.
The clash is the first to be announced for London's annual UFC card which will be held at The O2 on March 21.
Leon Edwards and Darren Till are believed to be the frontrunners to headline the show.
Former Cage Warriors champion McCann made her UFC debut last year when she missed weight and was choked out by Gillian Robertson.
Since then she has racked up three straight victories and vowed to make it four against the Californian.
"I feel like she's been in the spotlight in MMA since I started and I've probably watched every fight of hers as a fan since she beat Fallon Fox, as a fan," she said.
"She doesn't have many weaknesses because she's been doing it for so long; she has a good striking style and she's an aggressive grappler.
"I've got a very worthy opponent and I need to train smarter and harder than before to get something I've never had and that's the finish."
A fourth victory in succession will push McCann closer to a ranking, but she believes she is missing one vital ingredient to climb that ladder.
"All I can do is fight who I'm asked to fight and when the ranked opponents come I won't be turning them down," she added.
"The UFC has a plan for me and I have to go out and perform, but I don't think I'll be in the top 15 until I start finishing people."

In too many cases an addiction to gambling ends in tragedy, like the suicide of a young male football fan recently. It is time to take serious action
The Voice of the People: It's time to blow the whistle on betting blight
Gambling addiction has ensnared a generation of young male football fans.
Their lives have been transformed into a cycle of debt and despair.
In too many cases it ends in tragedy, like the suicide of 29-year-old Philip Tomlinson.
He left his mum Kindal a note saying: “I’m sorry to be a burden.”
But it’s not Philip who is the burden. Or the thousands like him, trapped in spiral of broken dreams and hopelessness.
Responsibility lies with the football clubs, the FA, the betting companies and the Government.

Turning a blind eye to the anguish caused by the incessant pressure to bet is no longer acceptable.
It is time for them to take action to end the plight of Philip and the gamblification of our national sport.
More than £14billion was lost last year on sport-related betting, according to the Gambling Commission. One third of that online, made easy as a couple of clicks.
Betting has become a normalised part of sport, with marketing, sponsorship, advertising and special deals targeted specifically at football.
The Football Association showed callous disregard with their recent £750million deal allowing betting companies to broadcast FA Cup matches.
As a first step the clubs should agree a larger levy to fund research and, importantly, treatment for addiction.
The display of betting ads on players’ shirts should be urgently reviewed and tougher regulations introduced.
Football may be a dream come true for the players but it’s a nightmare for too many fans.
