Coronation Street star Alison King splits from fiancé of 3 years after 'growing apart'

Coronation Street star Alison King has split from fiancé David Stuckey.

Alison, known for playing Carla Connor on the cobbles, and IT consultant David, 40, were supposed to get married in May 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic caused havoc to their Greek wedding plans.

The 49-year-old and David had been together since March 2018 and got engaged in 2019 before their wedding was postponed a year later.

A source told The Sun : "Alison and David have sadly decided to separate. They were very much in love for a long time but have ended up growing apart.

"It’s obviously very sad for them both, but they knew they couldn’t continue on together. Both knew that it wasn’t right.

"They parted amicably and both wish each other the best in the future."

She had previously spoken about their engagement to OK! magazine in 2019 and how she had "an inkling" that David was going to proposed.

David got down on one knee on their eve of their one-year anniversary while they were onboard a sunset cruise.

Alison told the magazine: "I had an inkling he was going to pop the ­question because he kept putting something on my finger and going, 'right, close your eyes and forget this ever happened'.

"We’d also discussed marriage, too. I think we both went from 'no, we don’t ever need to get married' to 'oh, we really want to get married!'"
