Coronation Street star Shobna Gulati has revealed she is as unlucky in love as her soap character, with her real-life romance coming to an end.
Mother-of-one Shobna, who plays shopgirl Sunita Parekh, admitted that fame had ruined her four-year relationship with ex-Emmerdale star Gary Turner.
The split happened after Turner, who played chef Carlos in the Yorkshire TV soap, left Emmerdale and moved to London, while Shobna stayed in the north to concentrate on Corrie.
Shobna, 29, said: "It can be hard finding time to see each other."
But she added that the split was totally amicable and the pair were determined to remain the best of friends.
Friends of the star thought the celebrity couple would marry in the near future and said the break-up had left Shobna "very tearful".
Shobna's on-screen character has had her fair share of relationship disasters.
Sunita's love-life took a turn-around when she snared sugar-daddy businessman Duggie Ferguson.
But the relationship ended in tears when evil Richard "Tricky Dicky" Hillman left Duggie for dead after he fell from a landing in the doomed flats.
Then, after despairing that she would never find love again, she became involved with Irish heart-throb Ciaran McCarthy, only for him to be arrested for going AWOL from the Navy.
