Corrie's Alina star shows off engagement ring from on-screen partner Tyrone Dobbs and it's stunning

Coronation Street star Ruxandra Porojnicu has been showing off a huge sparkler on her hand - but sadly it belongs to her soap character.

The actress is best known for portraying Alina Pop in the ITV show and has been the centre of some big scenes of late.

It all began earlier this year when the beautician started a romance with engaged Tyrone Dobbs, leading to a secret kiss behind Fiz Stape's back.

Unable to keep away from each other, Tyrone called time on his stable family relationship with Fiz and shacked up with Alina at the flat she shares with friend Emma Brooker.

But the pair have been through the mill, dealing with Fiz's anger over their relationship and suffering a tragic miscarriage.

Alina was in the hospital at the time after a fire was started by Tyrone's daughter Hope Stape at the flat.

As the fall-out continued, with Alina accusing Tyrone of choosing Fiz and Hope over her, Tyrone accidentally proposed.

And it's no surprise it came as a shock to Fiz, and grandmother Evelyn Plummer.

But last Friday night, a fuming Alina was left waiting for Tyrone with a takeaway for an hour expecting him to bring a bottle of Prosecco to "celebrate" their surprise engagement.

She was, however, unaware that Tyrone was actually cracking open the fizz - and once again cracking on with his ex Fiz.

Then earlier this week, Corrie viewers saw Tyrone present Alina with the expensive ring she wanted.

While Alina was thrilled, Emma tried to work out if he’s genuine or if the gesture is purely for her benefit.

And Ruxandra has shown a close-up of the ring over on Instagram - and it's stunning.

She held up her hand for the snap on the Corrie cobbles in front of Kevin Webster's garage where Tyrone works.

"Happy days for Alina," she shared alongside the image. She also added a bride and groom emoji before joking: "Ty with a moustache."

Ruxandra's love life is a lot less dramatic.

"I’m single and it’s OK,’ she said as she told The Sun's TV magazine as she discussed her relationship status. "I've been too busy lately to find someone, but I’m open to offers."
