I see Iβve already written what I was thinking just now in
my comment from January, but it doesnβt matter!
Conisidering how impish and playful Katherine was in
Coronation Street, her Happy Valley character could pass for a completely different actress; now thatβs the sign of a talented girl.
5ft7. ππ

Katharine plays an extremely serious part in the second Happy Valley series. Only occasionally might she crack a smile!
5ft7. ππ

Katherine has such lovely, lean figure that anyone could be forgiven for thinking she's taller, but I've had enough opportunities in 'Coronation Street' and 'Happy Velley' to know that 5ft7 is a realistic height guess for her. ππ

5ft7.25 imo. In Innocent standing barefoot next to Jamie Bamber in footwear, she only really looked about 2 inches shorter. Id have believed 5ft8,seeing as she lists herself 5ft7 must be a strong one.

Katherine, along with Sarah Lancashire, has made a real success of her career since leaving Coronation Street, and rightly so. I'd heard that she's a 'classically trained' actress and what that entails I do not know, but it sounds good!
I've seen her in many things, AND I liked her in Coronation Street, playing a reformed tearaway! 5ft7 looks about right for her; she's clearly not as tall as Catherine Tyledsley, but she's considerably taller than most actresses on the Street! She also looked fairly tall in the series she starred in with Sarah Lancashire - 'Happy Valley' - as Sarah's stuck-up superior!

I was watching some old Corrie eps and saw her with Marshall Lancaster (who Rob met) and he appeared to edge her out, she certainly didn't look taller anyway. Makes me wonder if she's more 5ft 6, I'm not convinced on 5ft 7.

I worked with her on Corrie, and I would say that 5'7" is about right.
