Coronation Street star Kate Ford, famed for her portrayal of Tracy Barlow, has previously spoken out about her battle with endometriosis and how it impacts acting
Kate Ford has become a staple to our TV screens over the years, having taken on the role of Tracy Barlow in Coronation Street back in 2002. The actress has taken on some huge storylines on the cobbles, with Tracy most recently ending her marriage to husband Steve McDonald following an affair.
Endometriosis is a condition which affects the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. Tissue similar to the lining of the womb starts to grow in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes and the condition can affect women of any age. The actress has opened up about the condition in the past. She previously admitted that it sometimes means she’s in pain whilst on the set of Coronation Street.
Kate has an advanced type of endometriosis, which means she has to deal with pain in different parts of her body, not just her womb. In 2020, she wrote on Twitter, now known as X: "As someone with grade four endometriosis I realise how much I rely on my massage therapy to help with this. Due to Covid I've not been able to visit my therapist for three months. My body is sore I'll never take this therapy for granted again xx".
