Tupele Dorgu's fan ban
Thursday, 9 October 2008
'Coronation Street' star Tupele Dorgu finds it weird when fans chat her up.
The 30-year-old actress - who plays Kelly Crabtree in the ITV soap - admits she doesn't understand why men approach her when she is out in public.
She said: "It's mortifying when people chat me up because they recognise me from 'Coronation Street'! You think, that's really sweet and you're a fan but I'm not going to have a relationship with you because it's weird."
Tupele, who recently announced her engagement to 39-year-old Mark Flanagan, also revealed she was stunned when Mark popped the question.
She said: "I was absolutely flabbergasted when he proposed. I didn't know what to do and I was like, 'Wow, this is my proposal and this is what happens!' It hit me that he didn't have a box so I as thinking, why has he not got a ring? He must know me well enough to know I'd want a ring!
"I was playing with this box of mints and I was a bit nervous. I opened the box and the ring fell out! That was when I burst into tears because I realised he had planned everything!"
