A source told the publication: “Kitty is very talented and is just waiting for her big break on TV.
“She has got a very small part on the soap and has really impressed everyone.”
It isn’t Kitty’s first rodeo when it comes to acting, either, as she recently starred in Blackpool Grand Theatre’s Sleeping Beauty pantomime alongside Dancing on Ice star Hayley Tamaddon.
