During Tuesday’s (August 12) instalment of This Morning, Katherine sat down with presenters Emma Willis and Andi Peters as she spoke about her latest TV roles.
Since leaving the ITV soap, Katherine as found herself starring in various thriller dramas including Innocent, Long Shadow, and more recently The Crow Girl.
The actress will also be on-screen for new Channel 4 drama, In Flight, where she takes on the lead role of Jo Conran. The synopsis reads: “When her teenage son is jailed for murder in Bulgaria, flight attendant Jo enters a murky world of drug smuggling and will stop at nothing to save him.”
Katherine revealed while on This Morning that executive producer on the new show, Tony Wood, was also involved in casting her for The Crow Girl and Coronation Street.
She shared: “It’s a beautiful story. There’s a man who, in our world, is very well known, he’s called Tony Wood. He looked after Coronation Street for a couple of years. I was the last person that he cast…
“By the time I arrived, he’d gone and it was only the cast told me, you know, you were the last person that Tony cast.
“Years and years and years went by, and I never came across him. Then when we were doing a read through for The Crow Girl, he introduced himself at the read through, and I said, ‘I absolutely know who you are, thanks for this job and thanks for the other one’!”
Reflecting on her latest role with Tony, she added: “So yes, when he offered me this, I said ‘let’s make it a treble’. So yeah, I owe that man a lot.”
