Speaking exclusively to The Celeb Report’s TV mag, Jane said: “It was a little bit disappointing.
“She did apologise, she said sorry. I think the problem with Twitter is, people say things in the moment and often they sound a little bit harsher than what they were or people take it differently.
“On that occasion, yeah, I thought it was mean. But she did apologise so I suppose you have to draw a line.
“When you work really hard on something and somebody who understands that situation makes a comment like that, it is hurtful.
“So, yeah, I was a bit hurt by it but I’ve kind of let it go now!”
Last year Jane’s performance had fans singing her praises.
While 42-year-old Jane was praised by her on-screen sister Georgia Taylor, Vicky, 52, criticised the writing.
Georgia – who plays Toyah Battersby – said: “My beautiful, brilliant friend @RealJaneDanson You blow me away #corrie.”

Furious Jane wrote back: ‘That’s so disrespectful. They were some of the best scripts i have ever had.
“Shame on you for writing that! Very disappointed how mean that comment was!”
