Katy Cavanagh: Day Three

After yesterday's Julie Carp-esque shopping spree, Katy Cavanagh dons the dress for Colin Grimshaw's (Edward de Souza) 70th birthday bash, during which a huge family secret is revealed.

Here, Katy gives us a sneak peek into her hectic day filming in Day Three of her 'Week In The Life Of...' feature.

7am: Cup of tea, bowl of Shreddies, big blow dry and a little lippy later, I arrived on set to celebrate Colin's 70th birthday. Always a bit surreal shooting party scenes first thing in the morning. In the Rovers all day today, so lots of banter and general cheekiness especially as the scenes we're shooting are really traumatic.

10am: Bit of a break in the green room. The lovely Craig Kelly made me a cup of tea in a borrowed mug - mine has never reappeared. Probably best not to dwell on that, only a mug after all. Caught up with all the factory gossip with Craig as I haven't had scenes in there for a while. I don't know how Luke is coping without Julie to organise his desk and his life in general.

1pm: Had massage for an hour, fantastic! Really sorted my head out. First time I've ever done it. Floated back to work feeling six inches taller and very chilled. Wish I was actually six inches taller. I digress....Back into the Rovers for more celebrating. We're able to shoot in story order today, which helps when the bombshell is dropped!

3pm: Found a quiet corner to get a head start on my scenes for tomorrow. Rang my children and my little boy informed me in no uncertain terms that my work was rubbish! I miss them.

5pm: Finished for the day. Swapped Julie's heels for Katy's Uggs and grabbed my training gear. Met up with my personal trainer Duncan to run. Really didn't feel like it. Much rather eat steak and chips but half marathon is looming and it has to be done.

7pm: Actually can't walk now. Can't decide whether to throw up or try to eat something! Duncan lied to me and said we were going on a six mile run, then informed me I'd just run 8.5 miles when we got home. Will lie down for very long time after I have strangled him.

Don't forget to check back tomorrow evening for the penultimate instalment!
