Coronation Street star Kate Spencer has two secret jobs that she juggles alongside her main acting role on the ITV soap.
The soap star, whose character Grace Vickers is set to leave the cobbles later this year as her blackmail storyline takes a disastrous turn, revealed to The Mirror that she has enough going on to keep her busy when she eventually waves goodbye to Weatherfield.
Kate, 29, spends her spare time inspiring other people and admitted she likes to "learn about other people and the world".
The selfless actress mentors kids in foster care, teaches acting to young people at a drama school, and also volunteers at a box office in Derby.
She told us: "Acting fulfils a lot of me, but it doesn’t fulfil all of me. I like doing other things, so I currently work in a box office as well – with Coronation Street 's approval. If I’ve got a quiet time with my storyline, I go back to Derby and work in the box office. I’ve been there for five years.
"I also mentor young people in foster care, and I lecture at my old drama school. I really enjoy it. I learn a lot about myself and other people and the world."
Kate joined Corrie in 2019, and confesses she'd always been star-struck by the soap's actors.
But she is set to embark on a new adventure when her character leaves the soap.
Just last year during the height of the Covid pandemic, Kate became a part-time estate agent.
She joined Belvoir in a bid to get some "regularity" in her life when her acting work on the soap quietened down.
Taking to her Instagram, Kate showed her appreciation for the company as she returned to her Corrie day job.
"Today was the last day at the part-time job I did during lockdown," she penned alongside two photos of herself clutching flowers and a balloon.
"Huge shoutout to @BelvoirLetsWB for welcoming me in with open arms, teaching me all about property, giving me some sort of regularity over the last year and always having a giggle."
She added: "10months of gratefulness."
