After snacking on biscuits and cakes in the green room to keep her energy levels up while filming, Katie told the publication her weight began to rise.
“I was usually between a size 8-10 when ordering clothes, but I was creeping up to a size 12, which isn’t bad at all, but it was bigger than I usually am.
“I finally feel back to normal. I’ve trained hard, I’ve been lifting weights, and eating the right food. I’m more confident than I’ve ever been and I have much more energy.”
She joined a 12-week fitness programme at Ultimate Performance Gym in Manchester and overhauled her diet, now only eating “good fats like salmon, eggs and nut butters.”
After leaving the cobbles, Katie starred in pantomime as Tinkerbell, but was forced to pull out of the final week after collapsing and being rushed to hospital.
Since then she has landed a job with Mecca Bingo and also revealed her hopes to head to Hollywood.
