CORRIE BABE'S DELIGHT

Catherine Tyldesley has quickly become one of the sexiest babes in the soap world after bursting on to our screens as pampered princess Eva Price last summer. So it is no wonder that the soap’s bosses have just extended her current contract until next year. In our exclusive interview, Catherine, 28, admitted she still pinches herself every time she steps out on to the famous cobbles to play the daughter of Rovers landlady Stella Price. And with her bosses having promised her a number of big storylines, life really could not be much better.

She said: “I’ve wanted to work on Corrie for as long as I can remember and it really has been everything I thought it would be. I’m having an incredible time. I’ve had my contract extended until next year and I’ve been told that Eva has got some very big things coming up. I’ve got a meeting next week where I will find out what they’ve got planned for her and I can’t wait. It’s all very exciting and I’m really looking forward to getting the next batch of scripts just so I can find out what happens to her.

“When Eva first turned up in the street she’d just discovered that her fiancé had been cheating on her so she was a bit of a grumpy soul for a while. She was a little bit catty and definitely a woman scorned. But since she’s got with Nick Tilsley we’ve seen her softer side develop. She’s fallen for him in a big way and it’s been nice to show that side of her. She’s so fiery that I would like something quite hard to be thrown at her, something tragic as I’d like to show people what she’s made of.” Catherine added: “She’s a strong woman. She is Stella’s daughter after all and is used to getting her own way. So it’s going to be very interesting to see what they come up with.”

The babe may well be flying high but her love life has taken a bit of a back seat. She said: “I have an incredible job which is taking up all my time and focus so I haven’t really had time to think about my love life, let alone do anything about it. But I’m very open-minded when it comes to men. It wouldn’t bother me what they did for a living, they could be an actor or a bin man, so long as they made me laugh, were respectful and had decent manners.”
