CATHERINE Tyldesley has revealed her very bloated tummy – but insists she isn’t pregnant.
The former Corrie star – who gave birth to son Alfie on 18 March 2015 – took to Instagram to show off her “completely mental” stomach, which appears to be caused by water retention – or a big lunch.
She wrote: “Seriously? Wtf? I’m NOT pregnant… but my tummy appears to have gone completely MENTAL!
“@lucymeck1… something in the water babes? Literally?!”
Meanwhile, Catherine has hit out at the 12-hour days she spent filming Corrie, saying they took over her life.
The 35-year-old actress, who played Eva Price, told how the gruelling “7am to 7pm” stretches on set kept her from her family – calling it time she would “never get back.”
The actress, who was on the soap between 2011 and 2018, added she was spending more time with four-year-old son Archie after quitting last year, the Star reported.
They quoted her as saying: “It was 7am to 7pm every day at Corrie. Those are moments in your life you never get back.
“I love spending more time with my little boy now. I’ve not managed to watch it. I’m too busy.”
Catherine announced she was having her first child with then-boyfriend Tom Pitfield in August 2014, with the pair getting engaged the following month.
Son Alfie was born the following year, with the couple marrying surrounded by her Coronation Street co-stars the following year.
Seven stars have quit Corrie in the past three months with Lucy Fallon the latest to announce she would be leaving the soap.
The exodus of high-profile names includes Kym Marsh as Michelle Connor, Faye Brookes (Kate Connor), Tristan Gemmill (Robert Preston) and Katie McGlynn (Sinead Tinker).
