Leeds-born Coronation Street star Alexandra Mardell has long been a fan favourite.
The character, hairdresser Emma Brooker, was in instant hit with fans of the ITV soap when she arrived in Weatherfield back in 2018. We have watched her endure turbulent times on the street, taking centre stage of many memorable storylines - from discovering Steve McDonald is her biological dad to Curtis Delamere and his make-believe heart condition.
Emma was set to wed Curtis last year, however, their romance took a nose dive when she discovered he has been lying about his life-threatening condition. And her troubles only escalated when she attended a boozy New Year's Eve party in a bid to get over the relationship.
