Former Coronation Street actress Katie McGlynn is returning to the limelight, but not as the fans may have predicted. Having experienced personal and professional highs and lows since her on-screen character’s dramatic departure from the soap, Katie is now immersing herself in something new.
From the Cobbles to Cooking
Katie, who portrayed Sinead Tinker until 2019, broke hearts with her tearful cancer plot. Once she left the show, she confirmed that she used to comfort eat but fast moved her energy towards health, exercise, and cooking food from scratch. By 2020, she won a National Television Award and adopted a more conscious way of life.
In the last few years, she’s dazzled on the red carpet—at last weekend’s Television BAFTAs, for instance—and even appeared on Strictly Come Dancing. Now, food is leading her down a thrilling new road.
Coronation Street Famed Katie Joins Celebrity MasterChef Line-Up
Katie has signed up for the cast of the new series of Celebrity MasterChef, which will be shown later this year on BBC One. The show will also include Blue singer Antony Costa, Love Island’s Uma Jammeh, and RuPaul’s Drag Race star Ginger Johnson.
According to a source, Katie was keen to participate, wanting to try out her culinary skills in the kitchen. She combines glamour and northern wit and there will be a powerful lineup this year, according to the viewers. The source further stated that Katie is now in healthy cooking and wanted to know how far she could reach.
A Tasty New Chapter
With Grace Dent coming aboard to join the judges, this year’s Celebrity MasterChef is set to be a hit. Katie, who has just got back with ex-TOWIE hunk Ricky Rayment, is set to cook something new.
Katie’s return is an indication that there is more to this familiar face than fine acting skills. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for all the latest news on your favourite shows and stars.
