Catherine Tyldesley says co-star Alan Davies helped support her after she was overcome with morning sickness on the set of detective drama McDonald & Dodds.The former Corrie star was overcome with nausea after filming started not long after she discovered she was pregnant with her second child.

Catherine, who guest stars in the first film-length episode of the returning series, said: “The producer, Rebecca, was absolutely fantastic because I was quite sick on some of the days we were filming, and I was so well looked after. “We got through it as a team, they were on hand with a ginger biscuit whenever I needed one! “Alan (Davies) was very understanding – there were a couple of times when I was retching after a scene and he was just so caring and lovely, everyone was, it was great.” Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter.The 38 year-old added: “Normally I’d have a few cups of coffee during a filming day, but you can’t do that when you’re pregnant – I was limited to one in the morning and wondered how I’d get through it, but the team were brilliant and I could have a little lie-down on my lunch break.” The wardrobe department kitted Catherine out in floaty dresses to accommodate her growing bump.

In an interview ahead of the new series she also praised her industry for accommodating working mums.The actress, who gave birth to Iris Moss in April, said she often takes her two month-old on set.

She said: “I love my job so much, so Iris just comes everywhere with me. “We’re producing a couple of shows at the minute and she came on set the other day and was as good as gold – everyone fell in love with her!” She added: “My agent is still sending me things since.
