Corrie's Fiona star Sara Poyzer is married to cobbles icon with huge link to Kevin Webster

She's recently popped up on the cobbles as dodgy car dealer Fiona Morley– but off-screen actress Sara Poyzer is married to a former Coronation Street star in real life.

Fans saw the 54-year-old appear as a newcomer in the long-running ITV soap in recent weeks. Her first scenes were with Debbie Webster's ex Ronnie Bailey, a former 'business associate', and perhaps one-time boyfriend, who she asked to sell stolen cars for her.

When Ronnie refused, Fiona ended up going into business with Carl Webster – Kevin Webster's little brother. He even tried to use Kevin's garage as a place to carry out dodgy MOTs.

Though viewers know that Carl is in serious money trouble, it's unclear if Fiona's character will be a long-running fixture. She was last seen stealing a car from Kevin's garage! Here's what we know about Sara's previous link to Corrie and who her famous husband is.

Sara – who has starred in West End show Mamma Mia and as Leonie Schnell in Radio 4 drama The Archers – is married to 56-year-old Yorkshire actor Richard Standing. It's not known when the pair started dating, but they tied the knot in 2010.

In the Nineties Richard starred in period hotel drama The Grand, before going on to land roles in The Bill, Casualty, Doctors and Silent Witness.

But 26 years ago, Richard also had a stint in Coronation Street, playing market trader Danny Hargreaves.

Danny was on the soap from 1999 to 2001. He was engaged to Kevin Webster's ex Sally and the pair ran a hardware shop together.

They almost walked down the aisle, but everything was ruined when Sally dropped a bombshell on their wedding day - that she'd had a one-night stand with ex-husband Kevin a year earlier.

This led to Danny leaving the soap and Sally buying his share of their shop. She has since moved on and is now married to cabbie Tim Metcalfe.

And Corrie isn't Sara's first soap appearance either. Hardcore fans might remember her for short stints in BBC soaps EastEnders and Casualty. In 2013, Sara appeared in the Casualty episode What a Wonderful Life, as character Lynne Shields.

She's starred in EastEnders twice. Once in a guest role as character Penny in 2002, and more recently as DS Sally Grant in 2013. During the 4 November episode that year, Sara's character interviewed Alice Branning (Jasmyn Banks) about the murder of Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd), as she charged her with the murder.

Elsewhere, Sara has been in Doctors, Cast Offs, Paradise Reclaimed, Dangerville, Dangerfield, Playing the Field, Peak Practice, Crossroads and The Pilot of Ordinary People. In 2019, she also starred in Doctor Who: The Legacy of Time.
