The 15 Days actress, 41, who shares her son Alfie, 10 and daughter Iris, three, with her husband Tom Pitfield, has explained on Behind The Brood podcast that the reason is because her career can be very fast paced.

The actress said: 'When I'm on set, being in Malta as much as I have been, a year-and-a-half in total if you join it all up; I'm OK, because it's very fast paced.
'A little bit like it was on Corrie; my head is firmly in work mode. I'm somebody else, I'm not me.
'But it's when I get back to that hotel in the evening and it's silent.. The bedtime routine, bath time, not being able sit on the bed and read Iris a book or chat to Alfie about how his day was.
'I know there's Zoom, which is wonderful, but it's not the same.'
Tom said to his wife: 'Some days we'll go two or three days without Zooming and that might seem mental to some people.
'The reality is, you'll sometimes want to ring Iris and she's too busy playing with her dollies.'
Catherine added: 'We feel like we know when the time is right and I'm often on a different time zone to you.
'When I'm filming on the cruise ship, that's a nightmare because the WiFi is all over the place and we skip from tome zone, to time zone.
'It is difficult and I always say to the other actors on set.. they're like, 'You alright, Cath? Are you missing your kids?' And I'm like, 'I just want to sniff them'.
'I just have this... you know when your arms go a bit funny because you just want to squeeze them and sniff their sweaty little heads.'
Tom joked: 'It's funny, as I just want to launch them out of the window some days!'
Catherine played Eva Price in Coronation Street from 2011 to 2018 and the star gave birth to Alfie in 2015, she and Tom married in 2016 and they welcomed Iris in April 2022.

Roger Moore's favourite Bond car is currently being auctioned... and it's NOT an Aston Martin
There are plenty of iconic Bond cars. The Aston Martin DB5 from too many films in the franchise to list, the Lotus Esprit-turned submarine from The Spy Who Loved Me, and the Renault 11 taxi that has its roof lopped off in A View To A Kill. But none of these - or any other Aston Martin used in a 007 flick - was named by Roger Moore as most loved Bond car of all time. Instead, the one he said was his all-time favourite was the Citroen 2XV from the great chase scene in For Your Eyes Only (1981). And one of the motors used in the all-action sequence is currently available at auction after it was rescued from a Paris scrapyard. It is the only 2CV from the movie to ever be offered for sale at auction, despite being one of six cars trashed by the film crew to capture the seven-minute chase with Hector Gonzalez's men giving chase in a pair of Peugeot 504s through the outskirts of Madrid, Spain. The month-long online auction is already running at up to $120,000 (£89,000), though the Dallas-based company overseeing its sale is hoping for it to reach half a million dollars (around £370,000) by the time it ends on 17 July. It is the only 2CV from the movie to ever be offered for sale at auction, despite being one of six cars trashed by the film crew to capture the seven-minute chase scene The chase scene is remembered as one of the best Bond car sequences of all time. Moore jumps into the passenger seat of Melina Havelock's (Carole Bouquet) dinky Citroen to escape the fun fire of Gonzalez's heavies. To avoid a head-on collision with an oncoming coach in a small village, Havelock's evasive manoeuvre results in the 2CV rolling onto its roof. With the help of a few locals, 007 flips the little Citroen back onto its four wheels and takes to the wheel of the diminutive French city car before receiving a bump start. Out onto a snaking mountain road, the two Peugeots are in hot pursuit of the sun-colour Citroen, with one side-swiping Bond's 2CV into another barrel roll down the side of the pass, where it lands - partially crushed - on all fours before Bond puts it into reverse, driving backwards towards the next hairpin bend. After disposing of one of the pursing 504s, Bond goes off-road through olive groves, delivering the famous line: 'Love a drive in the country, don't you?', before leaping over the remaining Peugeot and its henchmen in the seemingly indestructible French motor. The scene shows the 2CV first rolling onto its roof in the village and then barrel rolling down the side of a mountain pass - but Bond still manages to keep driving. Six Citroens were used for the seven-minute sequence, with all of them sustaining heavy damage To capture the high-octane scene, all six specially converted 2CVs were battered. This particular car started out as the pristine vehicle used at the very beginning of the chase scene and - despite sustaining plenty of damage - was one of three that withstood the destruction. The production team customised three of the six cars for filming - though not all were the same. They were fitted with a more powerful Citroën GS 1,015cc engine not commercially available in a 2CV (which used a smaller 602cc powertrain), adapting and reinforcing the interior and giving them reproduction Spanish-style number plates with the vinyl lettering M-1026-A. A number plate made in England prior to filming was identifiable by small print on the plate which read 'TUCKERS BS AU 145'. Once filming was complete, the three modified 2CVs had very different journeys; one was sold to UK collector Nigel Wild; another was retained by Citroen for its private collection; and the third - this car - was sent to a vehicle recycling facility in Paris before it was recovered This car was used specifically for the driving shots with Moore and Bouquet, and so was not fitted with a roll cage as it would have been visible on camera. Years later when recalling the famous chase sequence, director John Glen said: 'I love that scene; it was the complete opposite of what one would expect, it's usually an Aston Martin, so I thought let's go the absolute opposite end of the spectrum with a Deux Chevaux.' When interviewed on BBC's Top Gear, Roger Moore proclaimed it to be his favourite Bond car and later wrote in his memoir: 'It was huge fun to drive down through olive groves in.' For Your Eyes Only was officially released on 26 June 1981 and was the 14th film in the Bond franchise While the scenes are set in Spain, the filming took place on the island of Corfu in September 1980. French precision stunt driver Rémy Julienne and his team handled the action shots using the other identical cars. Once filming was complete, the three modified cars had very different lives; one was sold to UK collector Nigel Wild; another retained by Citroen for its private collection; and the third - this car - was sent to a vehicle recycling facility in Paris. It was recovered by Philippe Wambergue, a collector and racer of Citroen cars, and acquired by the current owner in 2004. To ensure this was one of the genuine Bond cars, the owner had Nigel Wild inspect this 2CV at Citromobile - a Citroen car exhibition in The Netherlands - where the owner of one of the other Bond-driven vehicles confirmed its authenticity. As this 2CV was rescued from a scrapyard, it has been fitted with replacement but faithful period yellow doors and boot lid, yellow roof, and seats. Areas of yellow paint are peeling, and it shows signs of production wear to both the bodywork and interior. Heritage Auctions describes it as a 'prop car for display purposes only' and not a roadworthy vehicle. The winning bidder will be presented with a certificate of authenticity for the motor too. 'The wonderful thing about this car is that it is imbued with the daredevil spirit of Bond,' said Alastair McCrea, Heritage's director of entertainment & pop culture for the UK and Europe. 'The car chase is one of the most creative and imaginative action sequences of any Bond film, and it is easy to understand why Roger Moore favoured this car over some of the flashier models. 'Because the other surviving models from the film are in permanent homes, this will be the only opportunity to acquire one of the 2CVs that actually appeared on screen, and this is the one that had Roger Moore in it.' Heritage Auctions describes it as a 'prop car for display purposes only' and not a roadworthy vehicle. The winning bidder will be presented with a certificate of authenticity for the motor too Earlier this year, Citroen's global chief executive Thierry Koskas told This is Money that the 2CV could be reborn as a 21st century electric car. In an interview with us, he said it will have the key virtues which made the original 2CV such a favourite first time around: simplicity, daring, comfort through clever suspension designed to deal with rough roads, practicality, value for money and – important in the modern era – strong green credentials. Customers can expect to see a model on the market within two years - from 2027 - and other famous Citroen nameplates could also make a sensational return to the market, he indicated. 'We want some of our iconic models to further lift the Citroen brand,' he said. 'We have a fantastic heritage – including models like the DS and the 2CV.'

Love Island fans beg ‘doormat' Helena to have some self respect after Harry's womanising is exposed in brutal villa game
LOVE Island fans have begged Helena to stop being a "doormat" and dump Harry for good. Last night Harry's womanising ways were exposed in a brutal game as he finally admitted to snogging Yasmin in the Hideaway. 3 Earlier that day, the pair enjoyed a cosy chat in the private area and kissed THREE times. But despite their snog, neither Harry nor Yasmin admitted to it when they returned from the Hideaway. That was until their actions were exposed in a brutal firepit game on Thursday night. Helena was left in shock as Yasmin revealed they'd kissed not once, but three times. And while Harry smirked, the stunning air hostess was backed by co-star Megan. 'You're a liar,' Megan shouted across the firepit to Harry, adding: 'You owe it to Helena to be f****** honest, you p****. 'She's sat there watching you go into the Hideaway, you kissed her three times and then come out and go 'Oh no, I didn't do anything.'' Meg finished by telling Harry: 'Grow a pair of b******* mate, honestly, grow the f*** up.' After her sweary rant at the scandalous star, Helena got up and stormed off from the group as Remell said: 'I think we should wrap it up here.' While Helena could be seen storming off as Harry showed no sign of remorse. ITV2 viewers have begged Helena to dump Harry. One wrote: " "Helena is like a doormat Love Island." A second posted: "Helena is a weak babe, she needs to bump Harry." "Helena needs to move on and have some self respect," a third said. Another added: "Helena is such a door mat and Harry knows that, he's a massive player but she's clinging on to him." There were more fireworks earlier in the game when it was revealed Yasmin said she'd like Harry to "tip her upside down". Elsewhere, Conor read out a comment from Dejon that ruffled Meg's feathers. Dejon previously told the boys about Yasmin: "She's never orgasmed, so if I give her her first orgasm, then she'll fall in love." After Conor read out the comment, Yasmin said to the group: "I mean, if you can make me orgasm, fair play. I probably will fall in love." Things go from bad to worse when Remell read out a remark that Harry made to the boys about wanting to kiss Yasmin. Helena yelled: "What the f*** is going on here?"

We asked 12 beauty experts to spill on their favourite beauty buys – some cost £450, others just £2
IN the wise words of Jessie J, it's not about the money where beauty buying is concerned. In fact, more than a third of Boots Advantage Card members shopped for both budget-friendly make-up and premium cosmetics in 2024, focusing their attention not on how much products costs but on what really works - not something that's always easy to work out. To find out where we should be spending our money, and what products we can save on, we asked 10 industry experts for their favourite budget beauty product, and the one they will shell out for. Tara Ledden, Beauty Editor 32 I'm a huge fan of high street beauty, as there are so many brilliant products lining the shelves today, you really don't have to spend loads to arm yourself with hard-working products. However, if I'm going to splurge, it's almost always on skincare. BUDGET BUY BUY NOW I talk about ARKIVE The Prologue Hair Primer, £ 4.50, on an almost daily basis. In fact, when I told Beauty Writer Mia that I was going to make it my budget pick, she replied: "I knew it!" immediately. It's super lightweight, yet it still dissolves tangles and manages to leave hair noticeably softer and more shiny - while also protecting it from heat - without leaving any residue behind. It's impossible to use too much, so if you have fine hair like me, you don't need to worry about it feeling dirty or limp. BLOWOUT BEAUTY Tatcha The Silk Cream, £123 BUY NOW I discovered Tatcha The Silk Cream, £123, in the Fabulous beauty cupboard over two years ago and started slathering it on my face. Within days, I was getting compliments on how good my skin looked, including one from a fellow beauty editor well versed in my history of acne, who exclaimed: "Your skin looks like porcelain!" before we'd even said hello. I'd used it for a week before I googled the price, and I instantly started using a tiny pea-sized amount to try to make the tub last longer, thinking I'd never be able to justify a repurchase. Unfortunately for my bank balance, I've not found a cheaper moisturiser that compares, and have since re-stocked multiple times. Jamie Genevieve, make-up artist and founder of V ieve 32 As a make-up artist, it doesn't get more fun than testing and trying new make-up launches. BUDGET BUY Byoma Hydrating Serum, £12.99 Everything from Byoma is simple, effective and fuss-free, with a super-accessible price point. Byoma Hydrating Serum, £12.99 gives skin a hit of hydration, making it great to use ahead of applying make-up.

BLOWOUT BEAUTY Skinceuticals Silymarin CF Serum, £165 Skinceuticals Silymarin CF Serum, £165, is formulated with oily skin in mind and was genuinely a game-changer for me in terms of clearing my skin of breakouts. Mollie Burdell, beauty journalist and make-up artist 32 You don't need to spend much to create an exceptional skincare or make-up routine, but I'm also a real sucker for glitzy tools and gadgets. BUDGET BUY e.l.f cosmetics Soft Glam Satin Foundation, £8, is one of my favourite bases because it gives the most natural glow-giving coverage with minimal effort required, and works beautifully on all skin types. BLOWOUT BEAUTY 32 Dyson Supersonic r Hairdryer, £449.99 I first experienced the new Dyson Supersonic r Hairdryer, £449.99, at Larry King's salon, and I immediately knew I needed one for myself. It's nifty, lightweight and an absolute joy to use. Emily Lansley, celebrity manicurist, facialist and tanning expert 32 When adding to my beauty kit, I always keep prevention, protection and good gut health at the forefront of my mind. BUDGET BUY Boots Glow Gua Sha, £8.50 BUY HERE A gua sha, like Boots Glow Gua Sha, £8.50, is one of the best things you can use at home for lymphatic drainage - you'll see instant tightening results. BLOWOUT BEAUTY Slimyonik AIR Bodystyler treatments, from £99, is a body contouring and lymphatic drainage device. It supercharges your metabolism, reduces inflammation throughout your body and improves your skin and gut health from the inside out.

BUDGET BUY Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream, £2 I use Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream, £2, absolutely everywhere, and it's also a great base for making fragrances last. BLOWOUT BEAUTY I take weekly visits to the nail salon for a mani/pedi. My job is aggressive on my hands, so I really take care of them. Townhouse nail salon is my go-to. Katie Onyejekwe, aesthetician and skincare educator My beauty routine is simple, results-driven and efficacious. BUDGET BUY BUY HERE Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Liner in Cappuccino, £3.99, is the perfect nude shade for my skin tone - once applied it really does stay put, which I find a lot of other liners don't. BLOWOUT BEAUTY Pure Lift Pro EMS tool, £674 I use Pure Lift Pro EMS tool, £674, in my facials, and occasionally on myself. It visibly lifts and helps to drain away water retention, leaving you looking sculpted. Iram Shelton, celebrity nail artist and lifestyle creator 32 I spend way more than average on beauty, but it's part of my job, so I see it as a business investment too! BUDGET BUY Maybelline Instant Anti-Age Eraser Concealer, £9.99 BUY HERE Maybelline Instant Anti-Age Eraser Concealer, £9.99, blends like a dream and has been in my make-up bag since my teenage years. Some things don't need to be expensive to work.

Plus, the time it saves me makes it 100% worth it. Adeola Gboyega, make-up artist I'm not into products that are all packaging and no performance. If it doesn't get results or elevate my routine in some way, it's not worth the spend. BUDGET BUY NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Body Oil, £12.50 has a super-luxe scent for the price and I love how multi-use it is: body, hair, décolleté, even a few drops in the bath.

BLOWOUT BEAUTY Matiere Premier Santal Austral, £165 for 50ml ED P is expensive. Estee Lalonde, content creator and founder of Mirror Water 32 Don't be swayed by trends – find what works best for you. Shopping with a list helps me to avoid impulse buys. BUDGET BUY BUY HERE Garnier Micellar Water, £5.49, is a ride-or-die for me. It's perfect for all skin types and is always the first step of my evening routine to remove my make-up. BLOWOUT BEAUTY I'd always say to splurge on a luxurious serum. , is an all-time favourite - if my skin is showing any signs of stress, this highly concentrated formula instantly calms and soothes it.
