Coronation Street favourite Sally Carman looked a far cry from her mechanic character Abi Franklin as she struck a pose on the red carpet at The British Soap Awards. Sally, who is currently at the centre of the drama in Weatherfield in her fight for custody of her baby boy Alfie, swapped Abi's overalls for a glitzy black jumpsuit for the awards in London.
The actress, who was nominated for the first gender neutral Best Leading Performer award to replace the Best Actress and Best Actor gongs, wowed in her bejeweled lacy outfit. She chose the same stunning jumpsuit as EastEnders star Danielle Harold, who plays Lola Pearce in the BBC One soap and the ladies both looked incredible.
Sally joined Coronation Street as drug addict Abi in 2017 and has become one of the long-running soap's most popular characters. After losing her son Seb to a vile hate crime attack last May, the character is embroiled in a heartbreaking storyline after losing custody of her son.
