Katherine Kelly shot to fame as everyone’s favorite barmaid, Becky McDonald, on Coronation Street in 2006, and has since gone on to star in some of the country’s favourite TV shows, from Happy Valley to Mr Selfridge. For that reason, as we notice her new brunette, blunt bob is a world away from Becky’s bleach-blonde locks, she’s extremely quick to remind us she left the ITV soap eight years ago!
Katherine, 40, is now back on our screens as Detective Inspector Karen Renton in the second series of ITV drama Liar. Here, the mum-of-two tells us all about what went on behind the scenes…
Hi, Katherine. We almost didn’t recognize you with your new hair – we’re so used to seeing you as Becky!
That was eight years ago now. I’ve just finished filming as Detective Hobbs in the second series of Criminal, so this is all paid for by Netflix – my hair choices are never my own!
You’re also a detective in Liar. Do you enjoy playing police officers?
