Former Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley has taken to Instagram to share some light comedic relief, but we have questions.

She took to the social media platform as her much loved alter-ego Olga Keff, who’s been popping up since we’ve been in lockdown to keep us all entertained.

This time round, she’s making a classic – a basic cheese sarnie.

We were chuckling at the haphazard assembly and the hefty dollop of brown sauce.

Catherine ended the video saying, “I’ll tell you what, if the Chinese has stuck to a cheese sandwich, we wouldn’t be in the mess, would we?

“Whatever happened to sticking a chicken kiev in t’oven? Bloody bats…”
