"She sees something missing in him. He sees something missing in her," the actor told ITV's This Morning. "It's had a nice response online. I wasn't sure how they'd take it, but it seems people are quite keen."

Asked why Carla is going to be cosying up to Daniel, Mallard - currently nominated for Best Newcomer at the National Television Awards - replied: "She's making her way through the Barlows."

News of Daniel and Carla's relationship first broke late last year with a Corrie source telling The Sun:

"On her return to the cobbles this Christmas, Carla will really stir things up by sleeping with Daniel, Pete’s half-brother.
