Alison King's TV ban

Alison King was banned from watching TV as a child.

The 'Coronation Street' star - who has appeared in several TV shows before taking the role of The Street's Carla Connor - didn't watch any shows growing up after her parents got rid of their TV set.

Alison, 34, revealed to Britain's Inside Soap magazine: "My parents threw out the TV when I was eight. They just thought there was too much sex and violence on the box."

Not having her own TV didn't stop the soap star becoming a TV sex symbol when she got older, but Alison insists she was not always beautiful.

She said: "I was an ugly child. One day I was riding my sister's bicycle and a boy shouted, 'Look, there's a monkey on a bike!' "
