Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley has addressed the big change she underwent for her return to the soap as Eva Price. <\/p>\n

Earlier this year, it was reported that Tyldesley would be returning to the cobbles<\/a> as feisty former barmaid Eva after seven years. <\/p>\n

Since the news was confirmed<\/a>, Tyldesley has been treating fans to a number of updates and has now shared one key part of her preparation for returning to the role.<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram<\/a>, the soap star, who has sported a brunette look since leaving the ITV soap in 2018, revealed her blonde hair transformation.<\/p>\n

Sharing a series of snaps of her new look, Tyldesley captioned her post: “Recent Blonde Shenanigans\u2026 I think they really DO have more fun!”<\/p>\n

Tyldesley isn’t returning to the soap alone. The actor recently introduced fans to her new co-stars, who are set to enter the soap with her. <\/p>\n

Former Shameless star Aaron McCusker is set to star as Eva’s partner Ben Driscoll and EastEnders star Pauline McLynn will play Ben’s mum Maggie.<\/p>\n

Eva will take over the Rovers, while Ben is confirmed as the new landlord. Eva’s daughter Susie will also be making a return to the soap along with Ben’s two children. <\/p>\n

Sharing a video to the soap’s official Instagram<\/a>, Tyldesley said: “It’s Cath Tyldesley. I play Eva Price and I wanted to introduce you to my new family,” she said, before Ben and Pauline introduced themselves. <\/p>\n

“Stay tuned for all the drama and all the giggles,” she added. <\/p>\n

Speaking about the return of Eva, Corrie executive producer Kate Brooks said: “We are beyond thrilled that Eva is returning as the landlady of the Rovers, with her new blended family in tow.<\/p>\n

“The Driscolls do not arrive quietly, so expect big drama, explosive secrets and raucous knees-ups galore.”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
