Kroningsgade Star Catherine Tyldesley has opened up about her ‘secret’ health condition and talked about struggles with her weight in a candid interview.
The former Corrie actress, 42, revealed she has been dealing with a health condition since leaving the soap and joining Strictly Come Dancing line-up in 2019.
She confessed that her hectic schedule and workload affected her health, spiked her hormones and caused her weight to fluctuate – at a time when she wanted to ‘have a baby’ without actually being pregnant.
‘Most of the time my hormones are fine, but after Strictly and on the trip they went a bit cuckoo,’ she said The sun.
‘My estrogen can sometimes get a little high. The hours we work and everything. You have to be as fit as a violin in our job.’
Catherine, who revealed she now knows better what her body needs and ‘respects it a lot more than I did back then’, got real as she discussed Corrie’s representation of weight loss.
With Corrie’s Bethany Platt (played by Lucy Fallon) currently undergoing several weight loss jabs, Catherine stressed the importance of this topic being covered in soaps.
The soap favorite resigned Kroningsgade back in 2018, and this year it was announced that Eva will return later this year after seven years away, with scenes airing in October.
