ITV Coronation Street: Real life of Imran Habeeb star Charlie De Melo - co-star split and adorable off-screen role

Imran Habeeb has gone from hero to zero in the eyes of Coronation Street fans. The lawyer, played by Charlie De Melo, made his first appearance on the famous street in 2017. After the breakdown of his marriage to Sabeen, Imran moved in with his sister Rana.

Fats forward a year and Imran had settled into life on the cobbles having teamed up with fellow solicitor Adam Barlow and begun a relationship with Toyah Battersby, after initially seeing both her and her sister Leanne at the same time. But his defining moment came in 2020 when he successfully defended Yasmeen Metcalfe after she was charged with the attempted murder of her abusive husband, Geoff.

But more recently, Corrie fans have taken a great dislike to the character after he lied his way to getting custody of his son, Alfie. It was revealed last year that it was Abi Franklin Imran had his one-night stand with after her son Seb's murder trial which initially saw Kelly Neelan sent down for murder.
