Michelle Collins has unveiled details about her Coronation Street character Stella Price’s relationship with Karl Munro.

The actress admitted that Stella has forgiven Karl for cheating with other women before they moved to Weatherfield.

Speaking to ITV, Collins said: "She feels betrayed by both of them, but I think she expected more from Sunita.

"It has happened before with a few other barmaids.

"Stella has forgiven him in the past and learnt to trust him again, but this time it's different. She hates him for what he has done to her."

The actress further explained that fans are urging her character to leave the taxi driver.

She said: "They hate it! They keep telling me to 'Get rid of him!' I think she is making the right decision, Karl is a loser who is only going to hurt her again if she gives him the chance to. A leopard never changes his spots!"

Collins also ruled out a reunion for the pair saying: "I think she should concentrate on having some fun. Stella isn't the type to have an affair, so he would have to be single. But after Karl, I think she will focus more on looking after herself and trying to get over the affair."
