dailyrecord.co.uk:

Catherine Tyldesley hit headlines recently after she slammed a baker who shared their response to a party planner, understood to be working for the actress, who asked for free cakes in exchange for social media exposure.According to Three Little Birds Bakery, the party planner requested a cake and 100 cupcakes for the birthday of an unidentified "well-known" celebrity– later revealed to be former Coronation Street star Catherine - in exchange for a social media post.The bakery declined the offer, with owner Rebecca Severs saying her staff "can't feed their kids with exposure on Instagram"."I'm so sorry to hear that your client has fallen on such hard times they can't afford to pay small businesses for their products," she wrote. "Unfortunately as my mortgage provider doesn't take payment 'in the form of promotion on their socials', and my staff can't feed their kids with exposure on Instagram, I'll have to decline your very generous offer."Alongside screenshots of the emails sent, the bakery wrote in the post: "This poor celebrity apparently can't afford to pay people for their products and services.

Spare a thought! What happened to women supporting women."Following the emergence of the scandal, dubbed 'cake gate', Catherine has since responded in a clip uploaded to her Instagram story to clarify she did not know the emails were being sent.

In the clip, Catherine told: "Cake gate, what! So I have no idea those emails were being sent. I'm not working with the lovely OK!

Magazine on anything that I'm aware of and NVRLAND are an amazing company. They've supplied me with performers in the past. They're insane and they've been completely misrepresented in this matter.
