The cast are now filming the seventh and final series later, which will no doubt feature a slew of signature sizzling moments, before the Manchester lass heads on maternity leave.

Fellow northern screen star Cath, who took on the role of Eva Price, donned blonde locks and sexy attire for her ITV soap role.
