Fans of Coronation Street and Emmerdale are reportedly thousands of pounds out of pocket after two actors cancelled their appearance at a fan event, citing a contract dispute.
Vicky Myers, known for her role as Lisa Myers on Coronation Street, and Michelle Hardwick, who plays Vanessa Woodfield on Emmerdale, were set to attend the FanFushionUK event at Heathrow this weekend.
People paid as much as £1000 for tickets to the completely sold-out event, hoping to get autographs and photos with the actors they admired from their favorite TV show.
However on Friday both Vicky and Michelle confirmed they would no longer be attending the event.
The employees claimed their employers broke a contract, but the employers responded that they only found out the employees were leaving through social media.
Vicky announced on X (formerly Twitter) that she and Michelle Hardwick won’t be able to attend the FanFusion event this weekend because the event organizers didn’t fulfill their agreement.
‘We are incredibly disappointed, as we were very much looking forward to meeting you all.
We’ve tried everything we can to fix the problem, but unfortunately, it’s something we can’t resolve on our end. Therefore, we have to stop our efforts.
We’re so sorry and sending all our love and best wishes to our amazing fans. If you need a refund, please contact FanFusion. – Vicky
As a big FanfusionUK follower, I was really surprised to hear what happened! They put out a statement to everyone at the event explaining they only found out Vicky and Michelle weren’t coming after seeing their announcements online. It felt like they were just as shocked as the rest of us.
We’re sorry to share that Vicky Myers and Michelle Hardwick will no longer be able to attend FanFusionUK this weekend.
We weren’t informed about this update directly and only found out about it when the fans did.
We know this news might be upsetting and cause frustration, and we understand you may be hearing rumors or speculation.
Even with these challenges, we’re still dedicated to making sure you have a great weekend. We’re also happy to welcome the five guests who are still planning to join us.
We just received this information, so please bear with us while we look into it and figure out the best way to move forward.
The cancellation felt especially sudden because large photos of Vicky were still displayed at the venue for fans to take pictures with.
This left many fans with considerable financial losses, and some reported traveling all the way from Australia and Canada only to be disappointed.
The event was quite expensive, with tickets ranging from £150 to £1,000. If you wanted a photo with Michelle or Vicky, that cost between £35 and £45 extra.
Michelle offered signed autographs for £35, with a limit of ten words per signature. She was also hosting meet-and-greet events, with tickets costing £90.
Fans took to social media to voice their frustration after Vicky and Michelle unexpectedly cancelled their appearance just one day before the event. Many were shocked and confused by the last-minute cancellation, questioning the actions of Fanfusion.
Fanfusion has deeply disappointed many fans who were looking forward to meeting their favorite personalities. People invested significant amounts of money, and unfortunately, the company couldn’t fulfill its contractual obligations. However, we want Vix Myers and Michelle to know that we greatly appreciate and support them.
I cannot BELIEVE it! A flip chart?! After everything – the travel, the money we all spent to be there – a FLIP CHART?! And they’re still acting like they had no idea what was happening? Seriously?! I’m just…speechless. So frustrating!
‘I know whose statement I’m believe and it ain’t theirs;’
Vicky, we understand you had a good reason for withdrawing, and the attempts to explain it away with fanfiction are disrespectful to both you and Michelle.
The Daily Mail reached out to FanFusion, Michelle Hardwick, and Vicky Myers for a response, but has not yet received one.
