The actress looks amazing as she shows off her new trim figure on Instagram

CORRIE star Katie McGlynn has been dubbed Kate McThin by Street pals after losing a stone since taking up boxing.

She’s given sticky treats the boot in favour of lean meats, veg and brown rice after being taken under the wing of super fit co-star pal Catherine Tyldesley.

The 22-year-old says she has lost a stone and toned up after a brutal training regime in the gym and ring.

Last night a pal of The Street star told The Sun Online “Katie was really unsure about how to train and what foods to eat. Cath has really sorted her out with some sound advice coupled with some evil work outs.

 She said that she has lost a stone and it's all down to one of her co-stars

“It has taken a while but she has lost a stone and looks super-fit now. Kate is really pleased with the results but she loves her nights with food and drink so she still makes sure she has a blow-out now and again.

“She’s now been called Katie McThin on the set because you can really tell the difference.

“She wasn’t fat before but now she has the body of an athlete.”

The actress admitted last week that working out was good for a hangover, revealing on Twitter: “Not in the best state but it's true that training does actually help your hangover!”

The star has also been avoiding the calorie-heavy food in the Corrie set’s canteen.

A host of Corrie’s stunning female stars are giving the canteen the swerve – because they can’t resist the tempting array of cakes cooked up by the chefs.

Every day chefs cake batches of buns, biscuits and brownies smothered in chocolate and even arrange them in a display made to resemble the red brick houses of Weatherfield with a Corrie sign above the treats.

Kate Ford, who plays Tracy Barlow, once told her fans: “Too many temptations in the Corrie canteen.”
