However, that wasn’t all she revealed during the Q&A.
Matilda went on to share her reasons for quitting the cobbles last year.
She said that she found her time on the soap “limiting” due to her contract.
Matilda revealed she departed the cobbles so she could try her hand at other projects, admitting Corrie was ‘quite limiting’ because she wasn’t able to work on other programmes due to her contract.
She wrote: “To be able to work on other shows, films and projects because when you work at corrie you’re under a contract which means you can’t work on anything else while you’re there – so it was quite limiting.”

It was revealed in October that actress Harriet Bibby would be taking over the role of Summer.
Lincolnshire-born actress Harriet trained at Arla North. The young actress has had roles in Doctors and Brassic.
In a statement regarding her decision to quit, Matilda said: “I’d like to say thank you to my second family, the cast, crew and viewers who have supported me during my time on the cobbles.
“After three and a half lovely years I felt it was time for a change. I’m excited to be starting that next chapter with a new role.”
Summer first arrived on Corrie in 2017 when her adopted father, Drew, asked his ex Billy to raise her when he was dying of cancer.
