The actress was cast as Collins's on-screen daughter Eva Price earlier this year and the pair made their first appearances on screen last month.
Tyldesley told The Mirror that she was relieved to quickly strike up a bond with Collins, who plays the Rovers Return's new bar manager Stella.
"I was really nervous about working with her because I grew up watching her play Cindy Beale in EastEnders," she explained. "She's absolutely brilliant, though, and we get on like a house on fire. I felt like we clicked straight away."
Tyldesley also expressed excitement about playing Eva, praising her fashion sense and predicting future romance storylines.
"I haven't really played a glamorous character before," she said. "I've always played the sensible one, so it is nice to play somebody that wears a bit of make-up and is trendy most of the time.
"Eva is a bit of a princess. She's an only child, so she's spoilt and gets her own way 99% of the time. She's not bowled over by The Rovers because previously her mum ran a much nicer bar - she's a little bit snobby and thinks the Rovers Return is a bit of a dump.
"She gets bored quite easily and dropped out of university after a year. She's quite savvy and her interests are mainly travel and boys. There's no doubt that she will shake things up quite a bit with the men on the Street."
Tyldesley has previously had roles in Lilies and Emmerdale.
