CATHERINE Tyldesley proves she’s left the Corrie cobbles poses for a behind as she sexy new shoot.
In her first project since quitting the ITV soap, gorgeous Cath shows off her new brunette hairstyle as she models new seas on fashion from Littlewoods.com
But, ever the performer, she can’t help injecting some drama into the shoot.
“I think my favourit e part was putting a new outfit on and t hinking to myself how best can I show th is off ?” the actress explains.
“What character wo uld wear this? As an actress, clothes evo ke different sides to my personality, so this shoot was a real treat!”
Playing Eva Price for seven years, the star grappled with tough storylines including partner Ai dan’s suicide and giving her baby away, only to change her mind in the end.
But she also brough t plenty of fun to the soap as the brassy blonde barmaid with the sexy and glamwardrobe.
Now back on the audition trail, Cath has advice for young actors starting out.
“Training, it’s imperative,” she says “I’m a huge believer . in drama school and reading as much a s you can.
“Watch as much theatre as you can. Study accents, learn y our craft.”
Cath, 34, who cites her style inspira tions as Victoria Beckham, Charlize
Theron, Jennifer Lopez and Marilyn Monroe, also shared her tips for looking good.
“Confidence!” she says. “Even on days when you’re not feeling it. Put your heels on and wear some bright lipstick, it’s amazing the difference a little pampering can make!
“I’d say that my style is quite classical, structured and feminine.
“Anything that goes in at the waist always works well on me. I often look to the 1940s/50s/60s for style inspiration.
“If it makes you feel good, feel confident, elegant, sophisticated and sexy – all these things are a huge feelgood factor.
“And I couldn’t live without a timeless little black dress, good pair of high waisted jeans, comfy heels, trainers and a huge handbag.
“I’m a mum – our handbags have everything but the kitchen sink in them.”
Cath is also a fan of dressing to show off her curvy figure and says her perfect date night outfit is: “Something sexy, but not too revealing, it’s good to tease your femininity!
“A backless dress or a dress that shows off your décolletage.”
The Salford-born star married personal trainer Tom Pitfield in 2016 and the pair have a son called Alfie. And after losing weight and dropping from a size 22 to a 10 several years ago, she admits she still has to work at staying in shape.
Cath laughs: “I hit the gym most days to give those curves a bit of definition!
“I love my food so I think it’s all about balance.
“I work from the inside out – nothing is more important than a good diet.
“Eat well, sleep well, train hard, drink plenty of water, but make time to relax and play.”
It’s been a stellar year for the star, leaving Corrie and enjoying some downtime before deciding her career move.
She’s already auditioned for a period drama but family is most important for this wife and mum. Cath says:
“For the rest of the year I am looking forward to spending time with my family.
“My highlights have been seeing my son in his first school uniform, my Coronation Street leaving party and, of course, being part of this fabulous Littlewoods shoot.
“I feel so glam!”
