After a brief relationship with Graeme Proctor, Tina dated Tommy Duckworth but they were tested when she became a surrogate for Gary Windass and Izzy Armstrong.
Speaking to The Guardian about Coronation Street and her decision to leave, actress Michelle Keegan said: “It was just such a level of love when you walked into that place.
