Catherine went onto drop another two stone after giving birth to her son Alfie in 2015, and in 2018 unveiled her transformation after a 12-week fitness regime.  

Back in June the Coronation Street star spoke about how hormonal bloating causes her to go up an entire dress size. 

Posing with her hand on her hip in the bathroom mirror, Catherine asked her followers: ‘Anyone else go up an entire dress size???’ 

The actress looked downbeat as she displayed her bloating bump for her fans in a bid to discuss the uncomfortable hormonal side effect. 

‘Hormones you’re so cruel to me’: Back in June the Coronation Street star spoke about how hormonal bloating causes her to go up an entire dress size

She lamented: ‘Hormones you’re so cruel to me!! I literally balloon once a month #walkingwomb #oestrogenprobs’.  

Catherine has previously suffered with bloating due to a hormone imbalance that made her ‘feel pregnant’. 

She told Hello! magazine: ‘My body seemed to think it was pregnant. I took so many tests as I was convinced I was actually pregnant and even had morning sickness, but in fact my body was just mimicking a pregnancy.

‘My endocrinologist said she’d never seen such a reaction. It felt like I’d given birth without having a baby. 

‘I put on a stone in weight even though I was eating well and training hard. It is only now that I feel I’ve got my body back.’
