Ali captioned the post: “They say don’t meet your hero’s, but I’m bloody chuffed I met mine! @theangelagriffin [sic].
“P.S you’re even more my hero now that you’ve helped save my hair.”
Corrie co-stars rushed to comment on the picture.
Sally Ann Matthews, who plays Jenny Connor, wrote: “You have just been so fabulous in this story. Mum had to seriously ‘shush’ her grandchildren tonight so she didn’t miss a word x.”
Sair Khan, who plays Alya Nazir, commented: “LOVE THIS PICTURE.”
Jennie McAlpine, who plays Fiz Brown, commented three red love heart emojis.
Recently, Ali’s character Emma has gone through a tough time with her family.

Emma’s father John was diagnosed with stomach cancer and shortly before his death, he told Emma that he loved her as if she were his own.
Wanting to know what he meant, Emma rang her mum who confirmed that John was not her biological father, and Audrey was shocked to learn Emma’s mum was former cobbles resident Fiona Middleton.
After John died Emma was left devastated but furious with her mum for keeping her from the truth her whole life and not coming back to Weatherfield to support her.
Meanwhile Audrey and Steve McDonald’s mum Liz did the maths and realised when Fiona left the cobbles she would’ve been in the very early stages of pregnancy with Emma, meaning Steve was very likely to be her biological dad.
