Jennie McAlpine owns over 50 pairs of sunglasses.

The 25-year-old actress - who plays unlucky in love sewing machinist Fiz Brown on the ITV soap - is "obsessed" with eyewear, but never splashes out on designer pieces.

She said: "Sunglasses are my passion! I have a massive collection. I'm obsessed with them. I probably own more than 50 pairs. All cheap ones of course!"

All cheap ones of course!

Jennie is also a big fan of her natural red hair, even though she was teased about it as a child.

She explained: "Lots of girls I went to school with are now paying a small fortune to have their hair dyed red because they know how great it looks - and I get it for free!"

When it comes to her co-stars, Jennie "loves" everyone, but admits her favourite is Sam Aston, who plays Fiz's brother Chesney.

She added: "We've got some very handsome men in Corrie! I love them all in equal measures but Sam has become a real mate. When he was younger I felt quite protective of him. Now he's taller than me and a real grown-up."
