Catherine Tyldesley shares candid photo from daughter's birth as she opens up on struggles

Catherine Tyldesley has shared her moment of shock over her daughter's arrival as she chatted to fans about becoming a second-time mum. The former Coronation Street star announced the birth of her baby girl back in April after reveling she was expecting her second child with husband Tom Pitfield back in October.

The actress, best known for playing Eva Price in the ITV soap from 2011 to 2018, shared the news of their daughter's safe arrival on Instagram, sharing a black and white image of the newborn's tiny legs and feet and writing: "We are so happy to announce that our beautiful daughter has arrived," she said. "We are grateful beyond words and feel overjoyed that our family is complete."

And just a couple of weeks ago Cath, who also shares seve-year-old son Aflie with Tom, shared the first photos of her daughter and revealed her adorable name for the first time as Iris Ella. The 38-year-old told Hello! magazine that she played a character called Iris Moss in the BBC drama Lilies in 2007 and she had "loved it ever since".
