Faye Brookes turns heads in a lace catsuit after revealing she's been hitting the gym

She's been through heartache after splitting from singer Gareth Gates, but Faye Brookes was the picture of confidence as she attended a launch event in Salford.

The former Coronation Street star wowed as she walked the red carpet in a black lace catsuit.

She was all smiles as she posed in her eye-catching outfit showing off her gym-honed figure.

Faye, who was a guest at the River Restaurant launch at the Lowry Hotel with her former co-star Simon Gregson, has been hitting the gym.

Earlier this month Faye, from Flixton, revealed the results of her hard work in the gym in an inspirational Instagram post to mark World Mental Health Day.

Faye was dubbed 'warrior princess' by one follower after sharing a snap of herself flexing her biceps while showing off her impressive back muscles.

She wrote: "Stay strong your story isn’t over yet..."

Faye, 32, has been sharing her fitness routine with fans on Instagram, including video clips of herself performing deadlifts and ab workouts.

It was revealed in August that Faye, best known for her role as Kate Connor in Corrie , had split with her fiance Gareth.

The former couple promised to remain friends after reaching a mutual decision to call off their wedding.

According to a source close to Faye and Gareth, they had tried to make their relationship work but sadly realised it wasn't meant to be.

"They still care very much about each other and want to remain friends, but the wedding has been called off.

"Her family and close friends have been supporting her through the split.

"Although it's a painful time she's trying to keep busy with various projects and auditions.

"They tried to make it work but sadly it's not meant to be."

The couple met in 2012 when former musical theatre star Faye played leading lady Elle Woods in Legally Blonde the Musical and Gareth played her boyfriend, Warner.

Faye's character Kate recently left the cobbles after four years to go travelling following the death of her fiancee Rana Habeeb in the collapse of the Underworld factory.
