Coronation Street's Charlotte Jordan quit social media because 'fans hate her' character

Coronation Street star Charlotte Jordan revealed she quit using social media as fans 'hate' her character.

The soap actress plays Daisy Midgeley in the long-running series and viewers have been watching her trying to reassure Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) that he was still loved by his ex-girlfriend Crystal, but really she had said she wanted nothing to do with him.

Furious that it might set back his recovery, she pretended to be Crystal and found herself falling deeper into the lie and struggling to end it, despite Daniel Osbourne's (Rob Mallard) reservations.

The pair have been growing closer following the horrifying acid attack, where Justin Rutherford ended up scarring Ryan when he tried to throw acid over Daisy. He admitted at the time he had done it so Daisy wouldn't be wanted by anyone else but him.

As she bonds with Ryan, actress Charlotte revealed she chose to avoid social media due to her character's behaviour.

She said: "Yeah, I think there might be some trouble up ahead."

Speaking to Daily Star, she added: "I think I'm going to steer clear of social media because people are going to come for her, but it’s not my fault, they make me do it."

The actress said she constantly receives hate comments on social media as fans "hated her" due to her "divisive character".

This week on the ITV soap, Daniel heads to the flat to see Ryan after hearing from Carla that he is struggling.

He asks him why he's not seeing Daisy anymore when the pair were such good friends before, but Ryan doesn't say about the kiss and tells Daniel he has been in a dark place since he found out that someone had been catfishing him and pretending to be Crystal.

Daniel, none the wiser about the kiss, encourages her to pay Ryan a visit but she is guilt-ridden. As he admits he really missed her, he leans in for a kiss and she reciprocates, just as Carla walks in and is left stunned to see the scenes unfolding in front of her.

Actress Charlotte recently teased Daisy is feeling "overwhelmed" by her feelings amid the love triangle.

Speaking about if she regrets the kiss, she said: "She does and she doesn’t. She does regret it because obviously she does love Daniel; she’s committed to him and she sees a future with him because they are still planning on getting married.

"But she is just really overwhelmed by these feelings that she has caught really quickly for Ryan so she’s just confused at the moment."
