The 34-year-old actress was appearing on the brunch time show with co-stars Lucy Fallon, Jack P. Shepherd and Nicola Thorp earlier today (20.05.18) when the ill-mannered hornet attempted to crash their chat, but the quartet remained unflustered about the insect interruption.

Catherine wrote on Instagram afterwards: "Just glad we stayed chilled when a giant wasp flew into shot @lucyfallonx @jackpshepherd88 @missnicolathorp (sic)"

The cobbles star - who plays Eva Price in the ITV soap - also congratulated Jack (David Platt) for "behaving" during the live link with 'This Morning' co-hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

She added: "#cathscloset friends - Weatherfield Massive ... well done for behaving Jack... just (sic)"

During the chat, Catherine opened up about her forthcoming departure from the soap, admitting Eva will not be killed off.

She said: "I'm a bit emotional.

"I've been here seven years but there's loads of juicy stuff before I go guys, so stay tuned.

"The door is being left open. We'll see what happens.

"I love it here, it's been my home for seven years. I spend more time here than my actual home."

But Catherine remained tight-lipped about whether Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) is going to let slip to her man Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) that their baby is in fact Eva's kid.

She said: "I can't tell you anything."

Catherine has been involved in some emotional scenes of late after he ex Aidan Connor - played by Shayne Ward - took his own life, and she hopes the hard-hitting plot will save lives in real life.

She wrote on Instagram: "Here's hoping that the work that yourself and our wonderful #corrie team have put into this weeks episodes get people talking and help save lives. #itsoktotalk #mentalhealthawareness help is there - and hope is ALWAYS in your heart - no matter how cloudy ...@samaritanscharity @calmzone (sic)"
