ITV Coronation Street's Asha Alahan star looks stunning as thigh-high split dress draws compliments

Coronation Street star Tanisha Gorey isn't one for posting on social media too often but she quickly drew in the compliments with her latest post on Instagram.

The actress is best known to fans for playing Asha Alahan in the ITV soap. She made her debut on the cobbles back in 2009 when she took over the role from triplets Hannah, Harris and Ria Ahmed.

This week, Tanisha enjoyed a night away from the cobbles with some of her Corrie co-stars as they represented the soap at the Royal Television Society Awards where it was up for the Soap and Continuing Drama gong.

Tanisha was snapped on the blue carpet prior to the fancy awards bash alongside Julia Goulding, Dolly-Rose Campbell, Mollie Gallagher, and Sally Ann Matthews. The actresses paly Shona Platt, Gemma Winter, Nina Lucas, and Jenny Connor in the Salford-based programme.

The Oldham-born soap star then waited to hit Instagram with a couple of mirror selfies before leaving for the event, giving a full glimpse and her stunning look for the evening.

Tanisha, 20, looked sensational in a figure-hugging, brown silk dress that featured a thigh-high split which she paired with an open-toed black heel and kept her long dark locks down, styled into curls. She posted the images with just two heart emojis and her co-stars were among those filling up the comments section.

Georgia Taylor, who plays Corrie's Toyah Battersby, said: "Gorgeous, love," with a love-heart eyes emoji while Amy Barlow actress Elle Mulvaney and Paddy Bever, who plays Max Turner, both simply shared a flame emoji.

Kel Allen, who stars in the soap as Laura Neelan, commented: "Damn girl!!" as Abi Webster actress Sally Carman said: "Absolutely bloody scrumptious."

And fans were just as complimentary.

"@tanisha.gorey wow don't you look lovely and elegant," @ meredith_maddness said.
