Coronation Street Emma Brooker star's soap actor fiancé, heart defect and tragic loss

Emma Brooker has been one of Coronation Street's most beloved characters since she arrived on Weatherfield.

The hairdresser at Audrey's Salon has been played by actress Alexandra Mardell since 2018. The soap star has portrayed the character through some of the show's most central storylines as she has endured a traumatic time on Weatherfield.
