Coronation Street star Ruxandra Porojnicu has opened up about her love life.
The actress portrays Alina Pop in the ITV soap, whose romantic choices have sparked drama on the cobbles.
The beautician began a romance with engaged Tyrone Dobbs earlier this year, leading to a secret kiss behind Fiz Stape's back.
Mechanic Tyrone quickly realised his feelings for Alina and left Fiz and the family home behind to move in with his new girlfriend.

It was soon discovered that Alina was pregnant, leaving Fiz crushed.
But there was heartbreak in Weatherfield earlier this month when Alina suffered a miscarriage while in hospital after a fire was started by Tyrone's daughter Hope Stape at the flat.
As the fall-out continued, Tyrone accidentally proposed to Alina, much to Fiz, and grandmother Evelyn Plummer's, shock.
Away from the cobbles, however, Ruxandra is keeping things a lot more simple.
"I’m single and it’s OK,’ she said as she discussed her relationship status. "I've been too busy lately to find someone, but I’m open to offers."
Speaking to The Sun 's TV Magazine, she said: "Sometimes we go out for a drink after work but it doesn’t happen often.
"When we do, we have such a good time."
Ruxandra also opened up to the publication about her family back home in Romania.
The 28-year-old said how she send pictures from magazine to her mum who cannot believe she's on the cover.
"We don't have Coronation Street in Romania, but I send mum clips from YouTube," she said.
"I didn't really know what Corrie was until I got to England [in 2015]."
Alina arrived on the scene back in 2019 when she struck up a friendship with Seb Franklin, who was horrified to discover she was being controlled by a human trafficking ring.
After the operation was blown apart, Alina was rehabilitated by the Salvation Army before later returning to the street.
The following year Alina returned to the street to find that Seb had moved on from their possible relationship with Emma Brooker.
