Kate Ford’s Coronation Street character has a very different life to her own.Tracy Barlow, who Kate plays, has been embroiled in a huge amount of scandal, drama and criminal activity during her decades on the cobbles.The character was first introduced back in 1977 and Kate took on the role for the first time back in 2002.Tracy has blackmailed longtime resident Roy Cropper, been convicted of murderer (and murdered several people, including her then boyfriend Charlie Stubbs) and been caught stealing other residents’ credit cards in order to scam them.The resident villain has certainly made a name for herself, but what about the actress who plays her? Here’s what you should know. Kate, 46, originally hails from Salford in Greater Manchester and first had a taste of the spotlight at the age of 19 when she starred in the music video for The Beatles song Free as a Bird.
She then picked up small parts in show including a one episode stint on EastEnders and Doctors, before becoming the fourth actress to play Tracy Barlow in 2002. She left the soap for a while when her character went to prison in 2007 and, before making a dramatic return in 2010, appeared in one episode of Blue Murder and had another small part in series Missing.
In 2007, Kate married TV producer John Connerty and gave birth to her first child, a son named Otis James, a year later in 2008. However, the marriage didn’t last and the pair separated five years later in 2013.
At the time, Kate admitted that the split had been “incredibly painful” but said that she was trying to focus on her work to take her mind off of things. The actress had previously dated BAFTA nominated actor Bart Ruspoli, who had a brief stint on EastEnders, for a short while in 2000.
