‘Coronation Street’ Spoilers – Star Alison King Shares “Immense Guilt” after Giving Birth
“Coronation Street’s” Carla Connor talked about her real-life drama, which includes stalker experience, romantic engagements, and the feeling of guilt following the birth of her daughter, Daisy.
Alison King shared how her fiancé, David Stuckley, proposed to her during their Mediterranean cruise days after they celebrated their anniversary. She said that she already has an idea that her fiancé will pop the question anytime when he was trying to put something on her finger.
The 48-year-old actress once engaged to “Corrie’s” sound technician, Adam Huckett, whom she had a daughter with, and to her Dream Team co-star, Jim Alexander.
King also experienced being stalked by a woman way back in 2014. She asked for extra security as the stalker often waits for her at the Corrie studios. As documented by The Sun, the woman seems to be obsessed with the actress and had been repeatedly warned by the authorities to stay away.
The actress also revealed the real-life struggles she encountered when she had Daisy, including the “immense guilt” she felt after giving birth, for her baby came on the same day her close friend Kym Marsh lost hers in 2009.
Marsh shared Alison was having a hard time enjoying being a new mom, knowing that her friend was hurting from the loss of her son. “My friend Alison King, a really good friend of mine gave birth to her daughter on the very same day that I lost my son – literally hours apart,” she said during her interview with Morning Live.
“And the immense guilt that she felt at the fact that she’d delivered her baby so safely and I’d lost my son was such a hard time for both of us,” she continued.
