Long before Alison King arrived on the Coronation Street cobbles as Carla Connor, she was causing a stir between the sheets with Jason Grimshaw.
That’s right – Alison was first cast in Corrie as the racy Mrs Fanshaw for one episode in 2004.
Mrs Fanshaw and her red silk dressing gown spiced up Weatherfield when the character was introduced to ‘sex up’ Jason Grimshaw’s (Ryan Thomas) image. Hard to believe that now, right?
She had called on the services of Charlie Stubbs (you know, the husband Tracy battered to death) and he brought Jason along to help bleed her radiators.
