Coronation Street‘s Sally Carman-Duttine has recently got a tattoo to celebrate her co-star and real-life husband Joe Duttine.

The star, who plays Abi Webster on the ITV soap, has been married to Tim Metcalfe star Duttine since 2022. Duttine has three children from a previous relationship.

Reflecting on making spontaneous decisions, Carman-Duttine said she would just casually stroll into a tattoo parlour and get a new ink done, before revealing her most recent piece is dedicated to her husband.

“Or I’ll just walk in and get a tattoo,” she told OK! magazine after revealing she once chopped her hair off on the spot.

“I’ve got three, but one I’ve had done four or five times. It’s been cover up after cover up – it’s actually hideous, I hate it!”

Speaking about her newest ink, Carman-Duttine continued: “The most recent is a fancy J with three stars on my ribs. The J is for Joe and the stars are for his three kids. That one is really nice.”

While she’s in a very happy relationship, her character on Corrie is going through a hard time with her husband Kevin as she’s experiencing an attraction for another man. And not just any man.

With Kevin’s younger brother Carl now relocating to Weatherfield, Abi is struggling to resist the temptation of an electrifying fling.

“They had this shock meeting where they ran into each other and there was instant electricity,” Carman-Duttine said of Abi’s new, dangerous storyline.

“Then he turned up in her life and turned out to be Kevin’s brother, which was gutting because he’d awakened something in Abi.

“I think with her being an addict, there was that rush, that adrenaline that she hasn’t had for a very long time. It completely turned her from red to blue.”
