In the new mini-series – which plays out every night this week – Catherine plays Kate Tuckman, while actor Dominic Allburn plays her husband Carl.

On the face of it they look like the ideal couple, with Kate as the perfect school run mum with a sideline as a social media influencer, while Carl runs a successful business.

But behind the scenes, all is not quite as perfect.

Corrie fans immediately recognised Cath as the soap’s former blonde bombshell Eva Price.
