CORRIE diva Alison King dug her stilettos in — when she refused to wear a designer wedding dress, it is claimed.
The actress, 35, who plays Carla Connor, stroppily told flunkies the specially-made frock didn’t make her “feel fabulous”.
Then she ordered them to buy ANOTHER gown.
Soap bosses got top Manchester designer Vicky Martin to create the dress for Carla’s wedding later this year to murderous Tony Gordon (Gray O’Brien). The gown was to feature in scenes where Carla’s hunky brother-in-law Liam Connor (Rob James-Collier) ravishes her as she tries on the dress.
Tony later murders Liam after discovering he has been bedding Carla.
A source close to the dressmaker said: “The dress was stunning but she refused to wear it. She didn’t think it flattered her for her famous scenes.”
A Corrie spokesman said it was changed due to a “storyline issue”.
I have put this under Spoilers because it reveals some of the forthcoming storyline.
