Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley has shared a super sweet snap of her baby daughter after not seeing the tot for a week.
The actress, 38, who played Eva Price in the ITV soap, gave birth to Iris in April and told the adorable little girl how much she loved her in the emotional post.
Captioning the snap on Instagram, in which she cuddles her daughter tenderly, Catherine wrote: "Oh my little fuzzy head. May life always bring you cherries .
"You are so loved my darling girl - I hope you know that little pickle pot. A whole week without you felt like century - I love you so much #mylass."
The star's tribute went down a storm with fans with many taking to the comments section to send their best wishes.
One said: "This is just the loveliest photo."
While another gushed: "Back together were you belong."
Catherine didn't say where she had been for the week, but with a number of acting roles already in the bag since leaving Corrie, it's possible she was away working.
The Mirror has contacted the actress' rep for comment.
Back in 2017, the mum-of-two confirmed she was leaving the cobbles after seven years and went on to star in Sky's Trollied and BBC's Scarborough before appearing in ITV drama Viewpoint last year.
Catherine confirmed her next project, weeks after giving birth to Iris.
She revealed the news on Instagram with a stoic photo of her sporting a knitted pink tanktop over a white shirt.
"Meet 'Kate'," she wrote alongside the snap, before revealing she'd actually filmed the TV show while pregnant with Iris.
She wrote: "I had a glorious time filming this (despite the morning sickness) … standby/set your planners!"
The actress then added: "It’s back and it’s b****y brilliant #McDonald&Dodds!" before her former Corrie co-stars shared their support.
Rosie Webster actress Helen Flanagan said: "Yes babe", while Charlie Condou, who played Marcus in the ITV soap, gushed: "Pretty in pink".
The actress also bagged herself a role in the UK theatre tour of Cluedo, which starred Michelle Collins, who played Catherine's mum Stella in Coronation Street.
Michelle left the cobbles in 2014, before Cath quit in 2018.
However, the pair became two of the soap's most popular characters and many fans hope they might make a comeback.
Cath hasn't ruled out a return, telling Digital Spy if the timing was right "she'd nip back" because the show was 'such a huge part of her life'.
