CATH'S A KNOCKOUT

All eyes were on Coronation Street stunner Catherine Tyldesley as she wowed at husband’s charity boxing match

The actress looked stunning in a figure-hugging black dress as she supported hubby Tom Pitfield at the match in Manchester

SHE is more used to pulling pints than punches in her Corrie role.

But CATHERINE TYLDESLEY who plays Eva Price, was jumping for joy as her husband Tom Pitfield took to the ring.

The fitness instructor won at a charity boxing match and she could not contain her excitement as Tom fought his way to victory in Manchester on Saturday.

It was in aid of the city’s Saint Mary’s Hospital Charity, which helps women and children.

Cath treated Tom to a kiss and I doubt he had any complaints.

Amber's take-ing it slow

BOASTING 12 UK No1 singles to their name, it’s hard to imagine not knowing who TAKE THAT are.

But Glee star AMBER RILEY had no idea before landing her role as a judge on a BBC1 talent show which is hunting for five men to play the band’s members in a new musical.

As a result, the Californian had to stay up frantically watching GARY BARLOW and co’s back catalogue to prepare for hopefuls’ auditions on Let It Shine.

Amber admitted: “I had to binge watch all of Take That’s videos last night.”

And she told Gary, one of her fellow judges on the series due to air in January: “Gary, your voice is amazing.”

 Amber may not have heard of them before, but she said she's a fan of Gary Barlow's voice

During filming she was so moved that, during one contestant’s version of JOE COCKER’s You Are So Beautiful, she wept.

If she’s emotional now, just wait until they start belting out the Take That ballads.
