She has enjoyed playing the role of Eva Price since 2011, but now Catherine Tyldesley is preparing herself for an emotional goodbye to Coronation Street.

The 34-year-old blonde has been sharing several throwbacks in the last few days as she prepares to film her final scenes on the cobbles.

Today she treated her 383,000 Instagram followers to an epic throwback which showed her behind the bar of the Rovers Return Inn.

However, she looks rather different in the snap as the feisty barmaid is sporting curly red hair.

The snap showed her cuddling up with Michelle, 57, who played her on-screen mum Stella for three years, and she captioned the post: “Can’t believe I have three filming days left…
