Corrie fans were left swooning after they unearthed a throwback lingerie snap of Alison King.
The actress, shot to fame playing Carla Connor on the beloved ITV soap – making her debut in 2006. Since then, it’s fair to say factory owner Carla has become a firm-favourite with viewers and a staple on the soap.

What’s more, Alison has received acclaim for her acting too winning the award for Best Actress at the 2012 British Soap Awards following her powerful treatment of a rape storyline on the soap.
While Carla enjoyed success with her early acting ventures, it was her collaboration with Daz that made her a household name. Filmed in a soap opera style, the “Cleaner Close” adverts were produced between 2002 to 2019, featuring a range of soap stars.
One of Alison’s 2007 adverts saw her character, Pandora, go on honeymoon with a dishy stranger named Eddie. However, the following morning saw Alison, wearing a silk chemise, wake up in bed next to another man, realising the lovestruck honeymoon had been a dream.

Fans of the soap recently shared a shot of Alison in the sultry advert on a Coronation Street fan page. The fan wrote: “Flashback.”
Fans were quick to swoon over the snap. Someone gushed: “Wow I never saw that one coming! She hasn’t changed at all, has she!” A second penned: “Wow!” A third proclaimed: “Carla hasn’t changed since that advert.”

Over in the soap recently, Carla has had a tough few months. At the start of the year, her marriage to Peter Barlow came to an end when he left the cobbles.
Since then, things have gone from bad to worse for the beloved resident. A few months ago, her good pal Roy Cropper found himself arrested for the murder of Lauren Bolton.
Roy was ultimately released from Prison last week. What’s more, amid all the drama that’s been going down on the cobbles, it appears Carla has stopped looking for love.
