Kate Ford is one of Coronation Street's most legendary figures.
The 46-year-old soap star has played Tracy Barlow on the Cobbles since 2002. Kate took over the role from Dawn Acton and quickly became one of Weatherfield's most notorious villains.
She caused havoc on the ITV show and was involved in high profile storylines with characters such as Roy Cropper and Charlie Stubbs. Tracy's character has mellowed over recent years as she has tried to be a supportive mum to Amy Barlow.
