Coronation Street star reveals how she cries on cue

Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley has some acting tips for aspiring thespians.

Appearing on ITV's Catchphrase, Catherine was asked by fellow contestant Chris Kamara if she could remember her first words on Corrie.

Catherine explained that she couldn't recall them exactly as the scene featured "hysterical crying", prompting Stephen Mulhern to ask her how she feigns tears.

"Just think about dead dogs and stuff," she replied.

"That's a saying we have on set – if we find it difficult, we think, 'Dead dogs, dead dogs'."

She also revealed that her first day was "terrifying", continuing: "My first scene was in the Rovers – they make you feel so welcome, straight away.

"As cheesy as it sounds, we're one big family."

Last week, Corrie producer Kate Oates confirmed that Eva Price and Adam Barlow's storyline isn't over yet.

On Eva's upcoming exit from the show, Kate added: "It's very much to do with the Rovers story, with Toyah and Peter.

"They're playing it brilliantly. There will be a lot with that – and it will obviously impact the Rovers and the factory."

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
