Katie quit the ITV soap late last year in tragic scenes which saw her character pass away from her second bout of cancer - leaving husband Daniel and baby Bertie behind.

Off-screen, she exclusively told The Sun Online how the sad subject matter and intense filming left her snacking on cakes in the Corrie canteen, and creeping to a size 12.

She candidly told us: "I just didnt feel myself.

"Throughout the whole Sinead storyline, I put a bit of weight on and didnt feel comfortable in my own skin, and I wanted a kickstart on my health, and to feel confident again.

"Youre knackered and youre doing 12-hour days and its upsetting scenes.

"The canteen at Corrie have the best homemade cakes and I was eating for the town."

Revealing her secrets to weight loss success, with the help of personal trainers at Ultimate Performance in Manchester, she added: "I was weight-training four to five times a week, and steps was the main thing.

"I was doing 15,000 steps a day, which really helped, and tracking them on an app.

"It took 12 weeks to lose the weight. Im now a size 8, and I was a 10 before - tethering on a size 12, and I didnt like that - I was like a big size 10.

"Im not dissing 10s, but its just the way my body shape is - I feel more comfortable being a size 8.

"I lost over a stone, and a little later I lost a bit more so I think it was a stone and a half altogether."

Proving she's just like the rest of us when it comes to stuffing ourselves silly with mince pies and pigs in blankets, she conceded: "However, over Christmas I put half a stone back on.
