Kate Lee

Kate Lee appeared on Coronation Street in two roles: firstly as WPC Harris who found a suicidal Deirdre Langton on the canal towpath after daughter Tracy had gone missing following the Rovers lorry crash in March 1979; and she returned to the programme as Kath Simpson, a short-term employee at Jim's Cafe in September 1982.

Trained at the National Youth Theatre and New College of Speech & Drama in London, her other credits include roles in Cribb, Strangers, A Kind of Loving, Crown Court, The Practice and Wind in the Willows.

A change of career saw the creation of Kate Lee Communications, which is now established as an expert training provider specialising in voice, presentation and influential communication.
