Weatherfield actress Sair Khan appeared on Zoe Ball’s ITV weekend show Zoe Ball on Saturday to chat about all things Corrie, and admitted that anyone who gets close to her character Alya is doomed.

“Honestly, if you are coming into Coronation Street, try not to be connected to Alya Nazir because you won’t last very long!”

Sair also spoke about the feud that Alya is currently in the middle of with the Connors as she battles to keep hold of Underworld.

After Aidan sadly took his own life, there was shock in store when it was revealed that he had left the factory to Alya, his business partner.

Sair told Zoe: “For Alya it is just the hypocrisy of the whole situation, they have been very underhand in keeping Aidan’s final will and testament from her.”

The Connors aren’t happy that the family business no longer rightly fully belongs to them, and they’re fighting her to get ownership back.

“It was so scary when I got the scripts because no one wants to go up against Ali King, or Carla Connor, but it is so amazing, she’s just brilliant.

“There was a scene that was aired recently where Alya took on the whole of the Connors and after we had filmed it my blood was boiling and my hands were shaking!”

With the fight for the factory to continue into the summer, viewers will have to wait and see how this storyline plays out.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.

Zoe Ball on Saturday and Zoe Ball on Sunday (ZBoS) airs on ITV at 8.30am every weekend, or catch-up on ITV Player.
