The 34-year-old actress, who has played Eva on Coronation Street since 2011, shared a hilarious video with her 299,000 Instagram followers earlier today as she documented a pronunciation mishap.
In the clip, Catherine could be seen seated in front of a mirror as she prepared to go on set.
A member of the ITV soap’s make-up team was on hand to help the star transform into character as she sported a slick of bold red lipstick which matched a deep scarlet bow in her hair.
“Babe, can I have some of that matte lipstick,” she said, pronouncing “matte” like “mattay”.

Shooting her a dubious glance, the make-up artist handed over the item in question, asking: “Mattay?”
“Mattay lipstick,” the actress repeated, her expression blank.
“You mean ‘matte’,” her pal suggested gently.
Catherine looked skeptical, however, simply quipping: “Potato, pot-ah-to.”

Sharing the funny video with her followers, she thanked her friend for her correction.
“Awww thanks @corrieamkeup,” she captioned the upload, adding laughing face emojis.

“Proper Eva moment,” one laughed, while another said: “OMG this is so Eva. You crack me up.”
