Katherine Kelly can't cook.

Despite playing 'Coronation Street' cafe worker Becky Granger, the soap actress admits she relies on takeaways rather than cooking meals herself.

She said: "I can't cook, I hate it. I find it so unrewarding. When I'm hungry I want it done now. I'll go for any takeaway - everything from pizza to sushi."

Katherine, who trained at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in England, also confessed she used to have an American accent.

She added: "I'm Irish so I have loads of family in America and used to live in Florida. I was only 10 when I lived there though. I went to school there and had an American accent!"

The star also said, despite being in one of the country's best loved programmes, she doesn't earn enough to afford designer clothes.

She continued: "At 'Coronation Street' we may play for the equivalent of Manchester United football team, but we're on Stockport County wages. Topshop is great and Primark is wicked."
