Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan has revealed that her character Tina McIntyre is to get a new love interest in a future plotline.
In an interview with We Love Telly, the actress hinted that viewers will be surprised when they discover who the Weatherfield favourite starts dating next.
She confirmed: "There are plans for a new relationship, but it comes right out of left field and won't be like any she's had before. I'm looking forward to playing that!"
Tina is currently engaged to builder Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas), but in a recent interview with DS, Keegan said that the couple are not well-matched as Tina deals with the suspicious death of dad Joe.
Speaking at the time, she commented: "Jason just isn't good for Tina at the minute. Jason thinks that Tina should get over Joe's death and move on with her life but Tina can't do that.
"They've got two different outlooks on life - Jason's very black and white, whereas Tina thinks things though a little more and is quite emotionally charged. They're exact opposites in that respect."
Tina has previously dated troubled David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) and shared a kiss with his half-brother Nick Tilsley (Ben Price).
