Catherine's outing comes after throwback snap from her role in hit comedy Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps emerged. 

She only appeared in the sitcom for one episode back in 2011, but that didn't stop one eagle-eyed fan from spotting the soap star, who looked drastically different from what she does now.

The snap emerged when one fan tweeted a screen grab of her scene, writing on Twitter: 'Watching old episodes of Two Pints of Lager and look who popped up @Cath_Tyldesley you just never age one bit.' 

Seeing the funny side to the retro snap, the star replied: 'the power of make up! But Thankyou! Xx', alongside several crying with laughter emojis.
