Coronation Street's Tracy Barlow is set to be written out of the soap as she prepares to leave Weatherfield for a new life in Spain - but actress Kate Ford has been battling a health condition
Coronation Street's villain, Tracy Barlow, played by Kate Ford, might be leaving the cobbles soon. Spoilers have shown Steve reads an invitation from Tommy for Tracy to join him in Spain.
However, in real life, actress Kate Ford is nothing like her chaotic character. Tracy Barlow first appeared on Coronation Street back in 1977, and Kate has been playing the fiery character since 2002. These cells act the same as they do in the womb, getting thicker and then breaking down and bleeding. But this blood can't get out of the body, causing pain, swelling, and scar tissue.
Kate's endometriosis is very serious, and it causes her pain in different places, not just her womb. In the first lockdown, in June 2020, Kate tweeted: "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".
