CORONATION Street's Catherine Tyldesley has posted a raw snap of her in tears and admitted she has been in a "dark" place in lockdown.
The 36-year-old was left devastated when her mum was rushed into intensive care as she battled coronavirus. Thankfully, she has now left hospital and is continuing her recovery at home, but Catherine has since opened up about how the scare impacted her.
She wrote on Instagram: "Lockdown has brought up many emotions for many people. "Some days have been incredibly hard. Dark. Unworkable.
When my mum was in ICU I could barely function. "It seemed all I could do was cry. I couldn’t parent. My inner child simply craved my mums touch... "Thus I felt shame/mum guilt for not being able to ‘mother’ my own son.
