Corrie’s Catherine Tyldesley posts adorable throwback of her naked baby bump as she reveals son Alfie was born 15 days late

CATHERINE Tyldesley shared an adorable throwback photo of her baby bump with her fans.

The Coronation Street star gave birth to her son Alfie in April 2015, but today posted a pic of when she was overdue with him.

In sweet snap, she is revealing her big tum, with her Great Grandma gently holding it.

She captioned the picture with: "#throwback I adore this picture. Alfies Great Grandma (Gran-Gran) telling him to 'hurry up' (He was 15 days late!! ) #mommalove #family #baby"

The actress has managed to snap back into shape after giving birth nearly two years ago.

Catherine, 33, has revealed that she works hard to maintain her shape, and has taken up gardening to help her stay fit.

The actress is spending more time outdoors as she has been growing vegetables in her backyard.

She has also been heading out on long hikes with her husband Tom Pitfield and their little Alfie.

Catherine also works out at the gym and takes boxing classes, but she insists slimming down is all about staying active no matter what the activity.

Speaking to ITV's Lorraine, she said: “I love the gym.

“I love boxing. We do a lot of walking, as a family. I’ve been getting in the garden, growing organic vegetables. I think it’s really important to do stuff together as a family.

“[It’s just about] keeping active.”

The Corrie regular also insisted that other parents need to encourage their kids to exercise, adding: “We want to instil it from a young age.”

The svelte soap star has made no secret of the fact she was overweight as a teenager and was heavily bullied for being a size 22.

But through hard work and determination, she shed the weight and now sticks to a very healthy lifestyle of clean eating and exercise.

She recently mocked her days as an overweight teen as she conducted her own Great British Bake Off.

The actress dug out a cardboard cut-out of her larger self as she went head to head with her personal trainer Matt Warner to see who could make the best cake.
