'Coronation Street' Tyldesley bemoans "exhausting" Eva glamour

Published May 24 2012, 11:33 BST | By Paul Millar

Coronation Street's Catherine Tyldesley has said she finds Eva Price's glamorous lifestyle can be straining.

The Weatherfield actress admitted that she enjoys her breaks from filming to dress in more comfortable clothes.

"It's an effort, it's a real effort actually," she told PA. "Because you're constantly thinking, 'Have I painted my nails? Have I fake tanned? Do my roots need doing?'"

Tyldesley, 28, added: "She wears the stuff I would never have the nerve to wear. It's weird, sometimes you just feel really glam and it's a nice feeling.

"Then other times you feel she's gone slightly overboard, ridiculous big hair and fake eyelashes - like TOWIE on Red Bull!"

The actress's diva-ish alter ego caused chaos in ex-boyfriend Nick's Bistro in Monday night's (May 21) double bill.

How is that her complaining? They asked her a question and she answered honestly. She isn't going "Oh I hate it, it's beyond ridiculous and does my head in" All she is saying is it can be hard because clearly that isn't what she is like in real life.

If she really finds it that difficult maybe she should go be a cashier in Poundland or something and quit complaining, I'm sure there would be a line up a mile long with women who would love to have her job.
