The website claims a source revealed: “Cath has made no secret of the fact she wants to spread her wings a bit more.
“She loves Corrie and playing Eva but it was time to get back out there as a jobbing actress.”
The insider added: “She’s started reading scripts and auditioning for new drama roles and it’s a really exciting time for her.”
It was revealed in November that Cath would be leaving the ITV soap later this year.
She’s currently involved in a huge storyline as Eva plans to hand the unborn baby she’s carrying to Toyah Battersby.
Eva is pregnant with ex-boyfriend Aidan Connor’s baby but so far only her and Toyah know – despite Eva’s baby bump getting huger by the minute.
She also had to break up with new boyfriend Adam Barlow to keep her baby secret.
Adam – Sam Robertson – returned to Coronation Street this week and Eva had to give him the brush off again.
But Corrie boss Kate Oates revealed that Adam would be heavily involved with Eva’s exit story.
