Coronation Street star Melanie Hill has revealed the weirdest place she was recognised – during an intimate examination at the doctors.
The Cathy Matthews actress, 59, is known to millions as the busybody kebab shop worker from the ITV soap.
But sometimes, people recognise her in the strangest of situations.
And being in the middle of a medical procedure doesn’t stop people from asking her about her TV work.
“The most bizarre place I’ve been recognised was during an intimate examination at the doctors,” she told the Mirror.

“The lady who was doing it asked me if I was an actress because I looked familiar!
“It is so weird when things like that happen. I never went back!”
Melanie is currently at the centre of one of the soap’s biggest storylines after Cathy turned into an internet troll.
She posted hurtful lies about Steve McDonald, claiming he was stealing from his dead son Oliver’s charity fund.
Steve’s daughter, Amy, quickly discovered it was down to a newsagent and blamed Cathy’s partner, Brian.
He has taken the blame – and the abuse for Cathy’s actions.
And next week, Cathy’s nephew Alex will find himself on the receiving end of the abuse after defending her.
