Catherine Tyldesley claims people assume she’s a “bitch” because of her Coronation Street role.
The 35-year-old actress – who portrayed Eva Price on the soap from 2011-2018 – admitted fans are often surprised to find she is “really nice” as they expect her to be more like her former alter ego.

She said: “The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a bitch. “When I was in Corrie, a lot of people assumed I was like my character Eva, but I’m nothing like her.
“I’d meet people in the street and they’d say, ‘Oh you’re really nice.’ And I’d be like, ‘Yeah I know.'”
Catherine is set to compete on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing and will likely be hoping the skills she learns on the show can be put to use in a future theatre role.
