Why did Catherine Tyldesley leave Coronation Street?

Catherine revealed she was quitting Coronation Street in 2018.

The actress had played Eva Price for seven years, but hoped the move would pave the way for new opportunities.

She told the Sunday Mirror: “I plan to travel, laugh as much as possible, live in the moment, work hard and cuddle my boys.”

Catherine added: “It’s been the hardest decision of my life. Corrie is my second home – best seven years of my life.”

Since leaving the soap, Catherine has continued with her successful acting career.

She went on to have a main role in TV series 15 Days and sitcom Scarborough.

Last year, she competed in the 2019 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
