The 'Coronation Street' actress welcomed her daughter Matilda - whom she has with her long-term partner Scott Sinclair - into the world 15 months ago and has admitted she didn't have to work too hard to lose her baby weight because the extra pounds fell off her without any exercise or extreme dieting.

She explained to OK! magazine: "It's weird. Ever since I've had Matilda my metabolism has completely changed. I eat as much as Scott but I just don't seem to put on any weight. I've had my thyroid checked as my mum was concerned but that was fine...

"Since having Matilda, I've been there [the gym] once and Scott called me to come home! He said: 'Babe, you have to come home. She's crying!' Maybe when she's older I'll have time to go."

And her fast metabolism is no doubt working in her favour as he has admitted she can't stop scoffing the food in the soap's canteen since she reprised her role as mega bitch Rosie Webster recently.

She said previously: "I'm obsessed with the food in the 'Coronation Street' canteen - it's one of the best things about being back.

"My jeans have already got too tight for me in those few weeks [since she's been back]. I'll have to ask them to get Rosie's clothes the next size up. I love it."
