Adding a touch of luxury, the star has a chandelier hanging above her bed along with a floral display on the wall and a plush carpet.

Alongside the post, she wrote: ‘Couldn’t have chosen a better time to get a new bed & mattress just before the lockdown’. 

‘Lazy Sunday vibes, although every day feels like a Sunday at the moment! I also can’t tell you what I had to go through to take this photo . Self distancing when you live on your own isn’t easy..’

In one room, Katie also has a large standing mirror with an elegant gold frame along with a grey chest of drawers and wooden floorboards.

The actress has put plenty of work into her flat, writing on Instagram last year: ‘It’s only taken me about 3 years, but my apartment is finally feeling like a home.’    

Katie starred as Sinead Tinker on Coronation Street from 2013 to 2019 before deciding to leave the soap, with Sinead getting killed off after losing her battle with cancer.

The TV star recently went through a drastic body transformation, which she claimed has helped her to boost her self-esteem.

She also revealed that after a busy schedule she would be ‘too lethargic and stressed’ to make healthy meals or control her portion sizes.

The blonde beauty explained: ‘When I got home, I’d be learning lines for the next day, so I didn’t have time to go to the gym or cook.

‘I’d try to order healthy takeaways but I’d end up ordering loads of sides, like halloumi and pots of chicken, and have it all in one go, instead of saving some for leftovers.’

Katie decided to enroll in a 12-week course with the Ultimate Performance Gym in Manchester after she had finished filming her final scenes on the soap to get back into shape.

The actress said: ‘It was hard work in the gym. I was there three times a week with a personal trainer but it was simple to follow the diet.’

‘After my programme is finished, I won’t stop. I’m going to carry on with it, because I have a taste for fitness now.’

She revealed that before starting her fitness journey she struggled with comfort eating while filming scenes for her harrowing cervical cancer storyline.

Speaking candidly to Closer magazine last month, she admitted she would eat sweet treats to help ‘cheer [her] up’ while she filmed the sad scenes.

She explained: ‘It was such a sad story to be taking part in. I was crying in nearly every scene and quite often I’d eat cake to cheer me up.

‘I was snacking on biscuits in the green room or eating flapjacks made by the crew when I was exhausted. I was eating so much sugar.’

Katie added that she would often share dessert with her co-star Rob Mallard, who plays her on-screen husband Daniel Osborne, and would ‘grab one for [herself]’.

She also revealed that after a busy schedule she would be ‘too lethargic and stressed’ to make healthy meals or control her portion sizes.
