Corrie factory boss' drink driving shame - Pics added

Quote:
CORRIE vamp Carla Connor will be nabbed for drink driving - in a warning to motorists about the perils of alcohol this Christmas.
The sexy knicker factory boss, played by Alison King, 37, will be pulled over after downing champagne at the opening night of Nick Tilsley's new bar.
Carla fails the test and is hauled down to the police station. She is then fast-tracked through the courts and has her licence taken away.
Viewers will have seen Carla stay on the wagon after realising she was drinking too much and becoming an alcoholic.
But at the party she becomes depressed when she sees happy couples everywhere - and turns to the bubbly.
After her arrest, Carla is picked up by Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) then breaks down realising how a ban will affect her ability to run her business - which has only just recovered since ex Tony Gordon burned it down.
A Coronation Street insider told Tv Biz: "Carla's drink driving will be portrayed sensitively.
"But we hope the message of how easy it is to fall foul of the drink-drive laws, especially at that time of the year, will hit home to viewers.
"Last year we used Peter Barlow and his own problems as a warning about drink driving and this year we're using Carla.
"If we manage to stop even a handful of people from being tempted then we'll have done our job."
