It has since been reported the actress has uploaded a series of posts to her Instagram account from fans who praised her dramatic performance on the soap. A source told The Sun: “A few eyebrows have been raised among the more level-headed members of the cast, that’s for sure. “A few people are scratching their heads about why Faye is milking the limelight so much. In fact, she’s creating her own publicity. “At the end of the day she was doing her job, like any of the cast. It’s what they do day in day out. All these posts she’s putting up from fans about how great she is are just self-glorification.” They continued: “And all the stuff with Gareth in London. It was like she’d won an Oscar or something. She needs to tone it down a bit and remember she’s in Corrie. She’s no Meryl Streep.” It comes after her beau Gareth Gates, whisked the actress to London to celebrate the dramatic episode. Express.co.uk have contacted ITV and Faye Brookes representatives for a comment. Nevertheless, fans have flocked to Twitter to praise the Coronation Street actress for her emotional performance in Wednesday night's episode.

(Image: Gareth Gates/ Instagram) He captioned his video: “So proud of my lady @faye_brookes in @coronationstreet – such amazing TRUE acting. Sad to lose the beautiful and incredibly talented @bhavnalimbachia.” However, some of 34 year old Gareth’s 45,000 followers were furious with him for revealing that it was Rana who was killed in the roof collapse, before the moment aired on screen. One follower wrote: "You have just ruined it!!! ", while another said: “Oh god, you've just given it away." Others said: “Noooooo haven't watched it yet" and: "Spoil sport she’s still alive yet @gareth_gates." Actress Bhavna Limbachia, who plays Rana, has revealed that it was her decision to have the character killed off. She said: “When I told Kate Oates and Iain McLeod that I wanted to leave the show to try other things, it was my decision and my choice for Rana to die because it was the only fitting end to the character. (Image: Wire Image) “Kate and Rana had fought so hard to be together and they had been through thick and thin together. “I believe their love was so pure as two souls that there was no way that Rana was just going to have a change of heart, hop in a cab and leave. “I felt that if they were to be separated, they had to be torn apart and it couldn’t have been their decision. The only way to go was if Rana were to die. Rana would never leave Kate, ever.”<doc-sep>Sorry, this video isn't available any more. Coronation Street’s Faye Brookes has given viewers more details about her engagement to fiancé Gareth Gates. The star, whose Corrie character Kate Connor is set to marry her beau Rana Habeeb, joked about ‘life imitating art’ as she is planning her own wedding at the same time as her onscreen character. Tonight sees Rana Habeeb (Bhavna Limbachia) and Kate preparing for their own wedding on screen, but when Rana runs out on the preparations it looks like she might stand Kate up at the alter. But in real life things seem to have gone much more smoothly for Faye, 31, who revealed that the Anyone Of Us hitmaker ‘really pulled [the proposal] out of the bag’. Revealing that Gareth asked her parents’ permission, she pointed out: ‘He’s always been a gentleman, always has been from the moment I met him. He actually had planned the whole thing behind my back – which I’m thrilled about because I loved surprises.’ The pair are currently planning their wedding (Picture: Nils Jorgensen/REX/Shutterstock) Speaking of how he had her whole family involved, Faye added to Lorraine Kelly: ‘My brother actually went down to London to collect the ring. Everything was planned to a tee. The boy is a perfectionist and it didn’t go unmissed. He really did pull it out of the bag.’ It’s no secret that things haven’t always gone without a hitch (pun definitely intended) for the pair, with them briefly splitting last year. However, they were soon enough back together, with Faye now admitting it was ‘for the right reasons.’ ‘I feel like we’ll never take each other for granted again. Work took over and we ended up missing each other so much that we were just missing life together,’ she recalled. The couple met while they were both starring in Legally Blonde the musical in 2012, with Faye playing Elle and Gareth starring as her boyfriend, Warner. Gareth was married to Suzanne Mole (who he has a daughter with), at the time but they split in October that year, and ten months later Faye and Gareth got together. The adorable pair got engaged back in January, with a source revealing to The Sun that they were ‘over the moon’ and that the split was ‘just a blip.’ Since, Faye’s admitted that she’s on Pinterest daily looking out for wedding inspo. We definitely don’t blame her. Got a showbiz story?
