Former Corrie star Catherine Tyldesley opens the door on what's in her fridge

Catherine, who played Eva Price in Coronation Street, lost six stone and went from a dress size 22 to eight after being humiliated at an audition.

Now at a healthy weight for her height of around 10stone, she opens her fridge for Closer...

How much do you spend per week?

Around £250 for, my partner Tom and our son Alife (three).. I go through a lot of fruit and veg and mostly buy organic produce. I shop at Asda, M&S and Aldi.

Describe your daily diet...

I’m a big believer in probiotics so I take liquid supplement Symprove followed by a turmeric and lemon tea first thing. I follow the paleo diet which is low carb and high protein because I put weight on easily. Breakfast is salmon with wilted spinach or an omelette. Lunch tends to be a tuna stir-fry. I'm obsessed with home-made pizzas with of veg on top for dinner. I use Lo-Dough which is a low-calorie bread and pastry alternative. I snack on Hartley's jelly, Koyo dairy-free yoghurt, or small tins of tuna.

Is there anything you refuse to eat?

Fishy fish like kippers. It get’s my back up when I’m order a Caesar salad and someone puts anchovies in it.

What’s the strangest thing you’ve eaten?

The other day I pan-fried Brussels sprouts in garlic and then dipped them in brown sauce. Honestly, they tasted amazing.

What would you cook to impress someone?

I would do Paleo versions of a lasagne and a Paleo chocolate torte. Tom and I are passionate about recreating comfort food with a healthy spin.

Food hangover cure?

My best cure is a bacon butty on sourdough, with brown sauce all the way.

Closer nutritionist Juliette Kellow says...

Cath has found a way of eating that suits her but eating paleo-style isn’t for everyone and health experts recommend we include starchy, high-fibre carbs and wholegrains as part of a healthy diet.

As she limits dairy products, she should make sure she gets enough bone-building calcium from other foods. Good choices include fortified plant milks, beans, nuts and green veg.

Celebrity fridge rating: 8.5/1

Cath trains with Ultimate Performance Fitness.
