Catherine Tyldesley, who plays Eva Price in Coronation Street on the ITV soap, has updated fans about her health by saying, “You need to be fit as a fiddle in our job.
Coronation Street’s Catherine Tyldesley has lifted the lid on her secret health condition after her recent return to the soap. The mum-of-two, 41, who plays feisty Rovers Return landlady, Eva Price, rocked up in Weatherfield in October after a seven-year break from the show.
After leaving Corrie in 2018, Catherine was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2019 before going on tour with the BBC show. However, in a candid chat, she admits she’s been dealing with a health condition ever since as she revealed her hormones “kind of went a bit cuckoo”. Her extreme workload spiked her hormones and caused a reaction that led to fluctuations in her weight – so much so, she says she felt like she had “given birth without having a baby”.

Insisting she’s even more intent on prioritising her health now, she told The Sun: “Most of the time my hormones are fine, but after Strictly and doing the tour, they kind of went a bit cuckoo.
My oestrogen can occasionally be a little high. You have to be as fit as a fiddle in our job, given the hours we work and everything else.
Thankfully, Catherine can live full-time with her husband, Tom Pitfield, and their three children, Alfie, 10, and Iris, three, while living on Corrie.
After starring in The Good Ship Murder alongside Shayne Ward for Channel 5, Catherine made the revelations of her true identity as a working mother and actress.
She admitted in a shocking revelation that she could spend several days without speaking to her young children. It’s not uncommon for her to be far from the family for a long time, according to Catherine, who gained fame with Corrie.
Opening up about filming the popular crime show in Malta while her husband, Tom, stayed at home looking after the kids, she told the Mirror: “When I’m on set, being in Malta as much as I have been, a year-and-a-half in total if you join it all up; I’m OK, because it’s very fast paced.
My head is firmly in work mode, Corrie, and it’s a little like it was on her. I’m not myself, but I’m someone else. However, it’s silent when I return to that hotel in the evening.
The bedtime routine, bath time, and unable to sit down on the bed to read Iris a book or talk to Alfie about how his day went.
Happily, Catherine is now back in Blighty and gearing up for a bombshell episode of Corrie next week. After just weeks back on the cobbles, feisty Eva has taken over the Rovers Return and is gearing up for an eventful Christmas Day…
