Kate Ford in Now Magazine

Yeah, sorry about this everyone. But there's an interview with Kate Ford in this week's Now Magazine (dated 3rd May - not online yet).

It kicks off with the usual tedious weight loss story - like every other celebrity mum, she bangs on about how much fat she dropped after having baby Otis (now two - and not twenty five as I guessed in a previous comment) - a whopping four stones in twelve months. Which I suppose is quite a lot - but honestly, who cares? If she'd kept it on, she could've doubled up as Fat Brenda's ankle or something.

Anyway, in addition to her re-appearance this year, Kate says she will be returning to Corrie full-time in 2011. She reveals that the Coronation Street powers-that-be had been trying for a year to persuade her to return, and it wasn't until the death of screen grandmother Blanche that she felt the time was right. Personally - and no offence to Kate Ford, because the character, even when played by the previous actress whose name escapes me, has always been vile - I find Tracy Barlow hard to take. She's just too horrible. And by the by - does anyone know - has she still got Samir's kidney?

Dawn Acton played Tracy Barlow from a teen to adult and Tracy hit puberty, got hormone poisoning and went from there. She's never been a likeable character ever since! Kate Ford is apparently really nice in person. And yes, Tracy still has Samir's kidney but she's lost the scar ;)))

Thanks Tvor. I remember the Dawn Acton Tracy as being possibly the stroppiest, most sullen teenager ever. Don't know how Deirdre coped!!

How about a photo of her with the weight on? Now that WOULD be news!
