Before Catherine Tyldesley played barmaid Eva Price, one of Coronation Street’s fan favourite characters from 2011 to 2018, she went through an incredible weight loss transformation.
The star, who was once a size 22, lost six stone and dropped five dress sizes, and regularly goes to the gym while maintaining a healthy diet.
Catherine has talked openly about her weight loss and healthy lifestyle, and also revealed that while working on Coronation Street, she stayed away from food on set and instead took food with her instead to eat.

Talking about her weight loss journey to The Mirror, she said: “When I look at pictures of myself from that time, it doesn’t look like me. I was a different person.
“I actually keep a picture from when I was big on my phone to remind myself just how far I’ve come.”
Catherine will be able to treat herself in the coming months though to some cravings, as she recently revealed she is pregnant with her second child.
Colson Smith – Craig Tinker
Colson Smith is known for playing Craig Tinker and has shared his amazing weight loss journey over the past year on social media and on TV talk shows.
During lockdown he decided to start running and began to lose weight, saying in a BBC interview: “When I’m sad I run, when I’m happy I run, if I’m anxious I run.
“I’m completely alone and isolated but I’m looking after myself when I’m running.”
Over the past year he has lost an incredible 10 stone.
Talking on Good Morning Britain back in 2020, he revealed some of the secrets behind his weight loss, including working with a life coach, liaising with a gym in Manchester and sticking to a meal plan.

Jennie McAlpine – Fiz Stape
Jennie McAlpine has played Fiz Stape since 2001, and in recent years has shown off her impressive weight loss that has seen the actress drop three dress sizes.

She also said: “I don’t go in for all the diet plans and worrying yourself silly over how much you weigh.
“Ice cream is bad, salad is good – it’s not rocket science.”
It’s clear Jennie is a lover of good food though, as she opened a restaurant in Manchester city centre with her husband Chris Farr.
The plush eatery – called Annie’s – serves modern British cuisine.
