Charlie Condou has denied that he took a sly dig at his Coronation Street co-star Antony Cotton via his Twitter account.

The 40-year-old actor reportedly riled Cotton, 37, after it was alluded that Charlie had slagged off the amount of pictures he posts on the social networking site of his food.

However, Charlie denied that his comments were actually directed at Antony after the news broke of tensions between the two soap stars.

At odds: Coronation Street stars Antony Cotton and Charlie Condou have had an argument over food

Charlie tweeted: 'Thanks to @DailyMirror for today's non-story. My tweet had nothing at all to do with Antony and my comment about nobody giving a s**t....'

He continued: 'Certainly wasnt a reply to someone who mentioned him, as you can see from my timeline. Im really not that childish.'

The pair were accused of being embroiled in an argument over Twitter which was sparked by Antony posting pictures of his food.

Cotton, who pays Sean Tully on the soap, sparked the dispute after posting a picture of his breakfast on his Twitter page last week.

What's so offensive? Antony's picture of scrambled eggs and bacon offended Charlie

Shortly after Antony had uploaded a snap of scrambled eggs and bacon Charlie posted: 'Why do people post pictures of their dinner on Twitter.'

A fan replied: 'What, like Antony Cotton does?'

Charlie continued: 'Seriously, who gives a s***!'

Tensions simmering: The pair reportedly do not see eye to eye

Another follower wrote: 'Your mate Antony Cotton does it all the time #noonegivesas***.'

Antony did not comment on the remarks but a Coronation Street source told The Mirror: 'If tensions have been bad then this will be like lighting the blue touch paper. Antony loves his cooking and shares his creations with everyone â€" to have a barbed comment like this seemingly aimed at him will infuriate him.'

It seems the pair don't just clash over their Twitter picture and a source told the paper: 'It is an open secret that Antony and Charlie do not see eye to eye. There is a real divide throughout the cast and crew, with some people Team Condou and some Team Cotton. They are both very different people and simply rub each other up the wrong way.'
