“It’s tremendously sad that it hasn’t worked out, but their decision to split wasn’t a rash one and their relationship isn’t a victim of the recent lockdown.
“They’ve thought about the future of their family long and hard and know that this is the best decision. They’re on great terms and constantly in touch discussing their kids.”

Having quit the cobbles back in 2012, Katherine has since appeared on shows such as Gentleman Jack, Mr Selfridge and Cheat. And has no plans on returning to the soap.
On why she wouldn’t reprise her role as Becky McDonald, Katherine said, “I’ve been asked this question so many times, that I actually think about it very deeply. I think that even though it was left open, it would be hard for her to go back.
“She couldn’t go back looking like she did. I think it would be a let-down. I think some things are better left as they are.”
