Walking side by side, actress Katherine Kelly and Zara Tindall looked as though they were having the time of their lives as they shared a joke while walking through Cheltenham Festival.

Wearing a brown fedora hat teamed with a matching floor length leather coat, the former Coronation Street actress completed her sophisticated appearance with a black polo neck jumper. Holding a hand over her mouth, the TV actress, 44, who has starred in a number of popular TV dramas since leave the ITV soap back in 2012, looked to be disguising a laugh as she walked with Zara among guests at the horse racing event.

Meanwhile Zara, who is the daughter of King Charles sister Princess Anne, opted for a fascinator to decorate her hair and braved the cold in a emerald green coat. Katherine was also spotted with Zara's husband Mike Tindall, who is a former rugby player. Linking arms as they walked through the grounds along with Prince William's cousin, the trio looked as though they were firm friends. But it seems Zara and the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here star took time out for themselves at some point in the day as they were snapped sharing a smooch in full view of passersby.

Enjoying the last day of the festival, Zara cupped Mike's face in her hand as they threw caution to the wind. But it wasn't just Zara and Princess Anne representing of the royal family - so too was Princess Beatrice along with her husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi and her sister, Princess Eugenie with her husband Jack Brooksbank.

And Zara's brother Peter Phillips was also in attendance at the festival. Dressed head to toe in a light brown tweed three piece suit, teamed with a hat, he looked every inch the royal. The famed Ladies Day has now been re-titled with Style Wednesday. And on the Jockey Club's website, it said that it will "celebrate vintage and borrowed items, as well as investment pieces that can be passed down through generations."

It added: "We encourage all racegoers to showcase their unique and personal style, and to share the stories behind their amazing outfits with friends, family, and on social media. The awards are open to both men and women, and we can't wait to see the incredible fashion on display!" Katherine rose to fame as the gobby barmaid Becky McDonald in the ITV soap. Speaking of her audition back in 2006, she told us back in 2021: "I was told to turn up looking as c*** as possible, with no make-up."

She added: "But that morning I'd also been for an audition where I had to look really glamorous. So I sat on the Tube putting grease in my hair and wiping my make-up off with everyone looking at me. By the time I got there I looked a right state!" She was initially set to play the popular character for three months but ended up staying for six years and signed an 18-month contract during that time.
