Coronation Street bosses covered up a cross during filming at a 14th century church - because they thought it may offend viewers.The Rev. James Milnes said the producers asked for it to be removed entirely, but then settled on hiding it behind candles and flowers. He described the request - made during the filming of Molly and Tyrone's wedding scenes - as a disgrace. The cross was bolted down, so the soap's producers hid it behind candles and flowers for the scene, which was screened on Monday.Rev Milnes said: 'I can't imagine how people would be offended. It's a church - you expect to see a cross in there. You would expect to see the Koran in a film of a mosque, a menorah in a film of a synagogue and similarly a cross when filming a Christian church.'
Stephen Green from protest group Christian Voice said: 'It's absolutely ridiculous.'
