The security guard was reportedly fired following claims he had ranted about the Qur’an and had allegedly insulted a group of Chinese tourists. The Sun reports that former soldier Duane Gardner, 49, was fired from his security role at the ITV soap following a disciplinary panel hearing.
The publication reports that bosses were unable to fully prove that Duane made the comments in question and, according to a report, a car crash onset was the reason he was fired. Duane said to The Sun that he feels "victimised" as a result of being let go. OK! Online have approached the ITV press office for comment.
