Not really,  although I have discovered ARTDECO products since starting on' Corrie' and use a lot of their products. I swear by the Caviar Treasures Treatments - Gorgeous.

So, come on spill! Who’s the beauty queen on set?

 Well, Katherine Kelly (who plays Becky McDonald) says I am! Im a real girly girl. I love make-up and pampering!

 What is your all time favourite beauty brand?

 There’s a difficult question, I use a few different brands. They all have their strengths.

 Do you have a beauty Icon? If so, who?

 Marilyn Monroe. Glamour, sex, class and elegance. She had it all.

I am Fabulicious : (Catherine is clearly a woman of great taste!)

Getting Papped on the way to work- happens to us all! (not really)

   

Would you ever leave the house fresh faced and make up free?

 Ha ha. Never! Apart from when Im on holiday , or on my way to work. Even then there’s normally some tinted moisturiser on mascara on the go!  

Can you share with us one of your trade secret beauty tips?

Invest in good skin treatments, eat well, take vitamins and supplements to accommodate ones lifestyle. Don't smoke. Don't drink too much. Lots of SLEEP.

 Have you ever had a beauty disaster?

Oh yes - lots! I went through a phase of wearing waaaay too much make-up. My nickname was 'drag queen Cath'. I often get a bit giddy with the fake tan too...this time last weekend I looked like a giant 'Wotsit'!

  

What was the best piece of beauty advice you have ever been given?

My grandma has always given the best beauty tips - she looks AMAZING. Look after your skin, nails and hair. And eat well. 

So there you have it Fabulicious readers. Even big TV stars like Catherine are fans of good old high street brands like MeMeMe and Burts Bees!
