Coronation Street actors Nikki Sanderson and Danny Young could be about to split up, according to tabloid reports.

The two young stars started dating last year after their characters became closer in the ITV soap.

However, The People claims that Young's axing from the show in February this year is causing problems in their relationship.

The newspaper reports that Danny, who starred as wannabe footballer Warren Baldwin, wants his girlfriend to move to London with him once he films his final scenes for Coronation Street, but Nikki, who plays dizzy hairdresser Candice Stowe, is keen to stay with the soap.

The couple were reportedly spotted having a furious argument outside the set of the show.

An onlooker told the newspaper: "Nikki was pointing in Danny's face and shouting at him. She looked furious. Danny looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say. He kept trying to hug her but she pushed him away and stormed off."

A source added: "In public they are putting on a big show declaring their love but privately they know it could be the end of the road."
