Yahoo News Corrie star confirms Daniel's surprise new lover
Coronation Street star Rob Mallard has confirmed the rumours that Daniel Osbourne will have a shock fling with Carla Connor this year.
Rob revealed all during an interview on ITV's This Morning today (January 18) as show hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby quizzed him on Daniel's next love interest.
When Holly asked who Daniel would hook up with next, Rob replied: "It's an older woman. I think it's that thing where she sees something missing in him, and he sees something missing in her."
Clearly up to speed with his Coronation Street spoilers, Phillip then piped up: "Carla!"
Rob laughed: "You can say it, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to say it! She's working her way through the Barlows, isn't she? She's been with Peter already."
Corrie fans have already seen Carla supporting Daniel through his unresolved feelings for Sinead Tinker, but it seems that Sinead could soon be a distant memory for Daniel as the new romance gets under way.
One newspaper report first gave away the Carla and Daniel twist last month, but it hadn't been officially confirmed by anyone at the show until today.
Alison King, who plays Carla, had also previously teased: "There is someone she has a little fling with, but she is a bit like a cat with a mouse playing with him.
"It's something to do, it's not a big romance, and she also has another agenda for setting her sights on this person."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
