I just found this in old suitcases from my mums!! This is the first time I ever appeared on Coronation Street!

Taking to Instagram, Catherine shared a picture of the photo ID from her days playing midwife, Jayne on the soap.
She captioned her post: “I just found this in old suitcases from my mums!! This is the first time I ever appeared on Coronation Street !!! I played a midwife and delivered Sunitas twins @shobnagulati!
“Blimey!! This must be like 12 years old or something?!?!”
In fact, as Aadi and Asha were born in January 2006, it’s more like 14 years old, Cath!
Catherine’s post got a lot of attention, with fans sharing their shock to learn that she had appeared on Coronation Street years before she took on the role of Eva.
One fan said: “I think its so funny when people appear in Corrie and then come back as a main character. Eileen actress was also a nurse and Carla was a client Jason had a fling with”.
While another fan commented: “That’s crazy!! You need to come back to the cobbles, I miss seeing you on TV.”
Another added: “No way! Literally no idea this was you! Please come back to Corrie.”
Catherine’s throwback post came after she recently admitted that she would “love to” return to Coronation Street at some point in the future.
