Catherine Tyldesley confused with Corrie character

OHMYGOSSIP — Catherine Tyldesley claims people assume she’s a “bitch” because of her ‘Coronation Street’ role.
The 35-year-old actress – who portrayed Eva Price on the soap from 2011 to 2018 – admitted fans are often surprised to find she is “really nice” as they expect her to be more like her former alter ego.
She said: “The biggest misconception about me is that I’m a bitch.
“When I was in ‘Corrie’, a lot of people assumed I was like my character Eva, but I’m nothing like her.
“I’d meet people in the street and they’d say, ‘Oh you’re really nice.’ And I’d be like, ‘Yeah I know.’ ”
Catherine is set to compete on the new series of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and will likely be hoping the skills she learns on the show can be put to use in a future theatre role.
She admitted to new! magazine:” My plan B was musical theatre. When I left drama school, I thought I’d work predominantly in that but I was super lucky with TV and film so I haven’t had a chance to do a musical yet.
“I adore singing, it makes me happy.”
And the actress thinks people would be surprised if they heard her sing.
She said: “My hidden talent is singing. I’m a jazz singer just like my granddad was.
“I’m not sure how many people know that.”
While Catherine is set to feature on ‘Strictly’, she’s not a fan of other types of reality TV shows.
She said: “I must be the only person in the world who doesn’t watch ‘Love Island’.
“I don’t watch anything like that on telly.”
