As fans will soon discover what has really happened to Lauren, Cait leads a different life off camera
CORONATION Street star Cait Fitton has left fans gripped with her character’s disappearance in one of the show’s biggest storylines this year.
The actor is currently portraying Lauren Bolton on the Weatherfield cobbles since she joined in 2022.
However, the youngster suddenly disappeared and as a result Roy Copper has been charged after becoming the number one suspect.
But as fans will soon discover what has really happened to Lauren, Cait leads a different life off camera.
While it’s clear Cait has a talent when it comes to acting, having also starred in Doctors, she’s also a great singer.
The 22-year-old previously wowed her followers online after posting a clip of her singing a rendition of Ben E. King’s Stand By Me.
Cait always had her sights set on Coronation Street, previously telling us she told her entire class in school how she wanted a role on the ITV soap.
“The teacher asked us, ‘What do you want to be when you’re older?’ Children were saying ‘a fireman’ or ‘a nurse’, and I said, ‘I want to be in Coronation Street’.
“I remember all the teachers were amused, they couldn’t believe it. I watched it religiously.”
When she announced her role on Corrie, Cait paid tribute to the family members she’s sadly lost over the years.
She wrote: “My younger self is screaming right now!!! I want to say a big thank you to all the cast and crew at @coronationstreet for inviting me in with open arms and making me feel so welcome! Thank you to my amazing agent Brooke Kinsella at @intertalentactors for constantly supporting me and always pushing me to achieve.”
Remembering family members who have passed on, she continued: “Also a massive thank you to my family and friends who have supported me throughout this process and been with me along the journey so far! I dedicate this role of achievement to my family who were huge fans of the show but unfortunately are no longer with me, but I know if they were, they’d be bursting at the seams!”
Cait is originally from Lancashire and ventured into performing arts at the age of three.
