The 31-year-old, who plays barmaid Michelle Connor in the ITV1 soap, is a real-life mum to David, 12, and 10-year-old Emily.

She won the contest for her ability to balance her family life with acting and working for charities Diabetes UK, Beatbullying and Destination Florida.

She said: "I'm shocked and thrilled to have won this award from Tesco Magazine. And I feel humbled to have won alongside such amazing mums, whose stories are truly incredible.

"I'll be bringing lots of tissues to the awards ceremony as I know it will be a really emotional and inspiring day."
