‘It was shocking!’ Former Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley was so ill she ‘looked blue’

OHMYGOSSIP — Catherine Tyldesley ended up “looking blue” due to ill health.
The 39-year-old actress – who is best known for having starred as barmaid Eva Price on ‘Coronation Street’ from 2011 until 2018 – cringes when she looks back at pictures of herself because she “was pretty poorly” before she learned about nutrition.
Speaking on ‘The Doctor Will Hear You Now’ podcast, she said: “I was pretty poorly. My skin was shocking, I look back at old photographs now and I would have break out after break out. I looked blue.
“My body wasn’t getting any nutrients. I had dropped a lot of weight.
“My parents booked in with a nutritionist and from that moment I was like, ‘Oh my god, what have I done to myself?”
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star – who has eight-year-old son Alfie and 14-month-daughter Iris with her husband Tom Pitfield, 36 – is a “passionate” advocate for teaching the nation’s kids to eat properly so they don’t follow in her footsteps.
Catherine said: “I’m so passionate about children being educated correctly now, we’d save the NHS a small fortune.”
The ‘Lilies’ actress – who initially shed eight stone after leaving drama school and before starting her career in television – recently showed off her two and half stone weight loss as she explained the difference between how she felt after both of her pregnancies.
Catherine wrote on a selfie posted to Instagram: “She’s back!!!!! This time last year I was 2.5 stones heavier. I’d given birth a few weeks ago and didn’t recognise myself anymore.
“I suffered with hyperemesis and hormonal insomnia throughout my pregnancy. Which meant I averaged around 2 hours sleep a night for 6 months. We tried everything to help me sleep/feel better and nothing worked. I felt Dreadful.”
“Whilst I was pregnant with Alfie I felt great and was weight training till I was 8 months pregnant. I felt strong and recovery was so fast. With Iris I felt so weak and vulnerable.
“Combined with two failed epidurals and needing plenty of rehabilitation for my spine and pelvis- recovery has been much longer this time.”
“It’s been really hard at times but for me – But – having children means I want to give them the best version of me, and I want to live for as long as I can.
“I train and eat well for me AND them. I train so I’m mentally and physically strong for whatever role I play next. I train so I can feel good about myself.
“I train to relieve stress. I train so I sleep better. It’s been worth the slog- and I’m showing up each day to maintain things- mentally and physically.”
