Alison King portrays the role of beloved Coronation Street character Carla Connor.

The Corrie star is known for delivering witty one-liners and sweeping Peter Barlow off his feet time and time again.

Born in Leicester, Alison first showed an interest in acting during her high school years, taking drama and dance classes at Groby Community College.

She worked as a dental nurse for four years and then at 22 she took an interest in acting and enrolled at theatre school.

Her first role was as a salon assistant named Helen in Brookside, her second was as Lynda Block in the Sky One drama series Dream Team, and then her adverts for Daz made her a household name.

She arrived on the cobbles in 2006 and the rest has been soap history, so to celebrate her birthday, Daily Star have rounded up her hottest moments.

Leggy display

Looking like a chic goddess at the Southport Flower Show, Alison put on an ultra leggy display.

Resembling a country singer, the star donned some denim cut off shorts, tan wedges, a floaty cream blouse and her hair down and tousled.

Fresh faced and beaming, the Corrie star sat among flowers with a wicker basket beside her.

Steamy Corrie snap

With her on-screen beau Peter Barlow, Alison's character Carla got steamy while wearing nothing but a blue bath towel.

Wearing no makeup, wet hair and nothing but the towel, Carla's eyes were shut while she held onto Peter's jacket.

Looking as though she was about to seduce him, of course this steamy snap makes the cut of Alison's hottest moments.

Red carpet glamour

Red carpet ready and donning a sultry black gown, Alison showed off her ample assets and grinned.

With her brunette locks half up and half down, the soap star smiled for the camera with her hand on her hip.

Wearing a black floor length gown, Alison showed off her shoulders and legs thanks to the strapless design with a thigh high split up the front.

Skintight leggings

Wearing a very Carla Connor outfit, Alison donned skintight leggings, black heeled boots and an oversized black jacket.

With her auburn hair trailing down her back, Alison had her hand in her pocket as she turned to the side and beamed for whoever she was chatting to.

The snap was taken away from the cobbles when co-star Kym Marsh and Alison attended Britain's Got Talent to see Kym's daughter Emily perform at The Lowry Theatre in Salford.

Marylin moment

Alison attended the Philips British Academy Television awards (BAFTA) at London Palladium in June 2010, and put on a very chic display.

Resembling a Hollywood actress, Alison had her very own Marilyn Monroe moment when she donned a glam frock.

With a black tulle skirt and intricate bodice, Alison paired the look with a black chiffon scarf, black heels and her raven-hued hair trailing down her back.

This glam snap saw the star showing off her cheeky side as well as her never ending pins.

*Corrie airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV.
