Andrew Lancel says fans like Coronation Street's Frank Foster

Coronation Street star Andrew Lancel has claimed that his evil alter-ego Frank Foster is popular with viewers.

The actor admitted that he was surprised that he had received so little negative backlash from Corrie fans.

Lancel told The People: "To be honest I'm surprised I haven't had more already but actually people seem to like Frank.

"People have said to me, 'I wish you weren't going to rape Carla'."

The former Bill star went on to praise his co-star Alison King, who plays Carla Connor, for her "amazing" performance during the upcoming dark storyline.

He said: "Alison has been amazing. We get on really well and while we were filming the rape stuff we literally spent 90% of our time together working on it to get it right.

"It's a good job we get on so well. It was very emotional to film for both of us but we had lots of support from all the other cast and crew.

"There were lots of hugs and lots of real tears and also lots of silence on set."
