Catherine Tyldesley is gorgeous – with or without makeup! The soap star, 33, who plays Eva Price in Coronation Street, took to her Instagram account on Monday to share a gorgeous photo of herself and her son Alfie, two, relaxing at home on the sofa. In the makeup-free photo, Catherine explained in the caption that it was Alfie who influenced her to share the "rare" snap. She wrote: "#nomakeup .... it’s very rare I’ll post a no make-up selfie! But THIS dude #Alfie puts everything into perspective. No matter what I look like or what sort of day I've had - hearing ‘mummy I love you SO much’ makes everything ok #blessed #happyplace#family #myboys #grateful."

Shortly after she posted the photo, Catherine's fans were quick to compliment her natural beauty, with many telling her that she looked better without cosmetics. One wrote: "You should really go makeup-free with confidence – beautiful with but REALLY beautiful without." Another said: "I honestly think you look better (not that you don’t look amazing with makeup)." A third added: "Look how much younger you look! Beautiful inside and out, naturally. If I had your face I would flaunt it! You go babe!"

Last week, Catherine enjoyed a glam night out in London with fellow Corrie cast-members, including Jennie McAlpine, who plays Fiz Brown, and Jenny Connor actress Sally Ann Matthews, who were in the capital for a friend's wedding.
It certainly looked like they had a great time, and Catherine posted a number of photos from the evening on social media, including images of her getting ready, and one of her and Jennie posing by the River Thames. Catherine looked gorgeous in a burgundy playsuit featuring a statement flared sleeve, while Jennie rocked a retro-inspired hairdo, and wore a chic black mini dress.

And while Catherine enjoys a far more relaxed life than her feisty character Eva, the down-to-earth star recently admitted to HELLO! that her dad can see similarities between the pair: "I showed my dad a couple of stills from the wedding where Eva is totally on one, and my dad was like, 'Yep, I’ve seen that face before!'"
