Catherine Tyldesley tied the knot with Tom Pitfield back in 2016, and the couple is parents to seven-year-old son Alfie, with the former Coronation Street actress expecting their second child, a baby girl, next month.
To prevent any jealousy arising from her steamy scenes, Catherine Tyldesley revealed that she allows her husband to be present on set while she films them.
Known for her unique approach, she even seeks Tom’s opinion beforehand to ensure she appears flattering in various positions.
In an interview on the Hot Mess Mums Club podcast, the 38-year-old actress, who is gearing up to welcome their second child, shared that her previous relationships ended due to the challenges posed by her high-profile profession.
This time around, she is keen on maintaining a strong bond with Tom, who she describes as remarkably relaxed and understanding.
Recounting a moment of vulnerability before filming intimate scenes, Catherine humorously mentioned seeking Tom’s feedback on her posture and appearance, emphasizing her desire to avoid any unflattering angles.
Having her 34-year-old photographer husband present on set during such scenes has proven beneficial for their relationship, as Catherine highlighted the practical and non-romantic nature of filming such sequences.
Witnessing her engage in on-screen kisses with other actors has provided Tom with a firsthand look at the detached and unglamorous reality of those moments, leading Catherine to appreciate how it demystifies the process for him.
The couple’s parenting dynamic has been crucial, particularly during Catherine’s challenging late-stage pregnancy, where she commended Tom’s supportive role in handling most responsibilities while she battled sickness and exhaustion.
Expressing immense gratitude for his dedication, Catherine acknowledged the strain her physical condition placed on their routine, with Tom often shouldering the morning routines and solo parenting duties due to her overwhelming fatigue.
Despite her professional commitments, Catherine disclosed having to decline opportunities owing to her physical limitations, including a physically demanding acting job that she reluctantly turned down before Christmas.
Navigating the discomfort and limitations of her pregnancy, she candidly admitted to struggling with her energy levels and the toll it took on her ability to fulfill work obligations to the fullest.
