Coronation Street fans were surprised to discover that Katy Cavanagh, best known for portraying Julie Carp on the show, is the mother of two well-known actors. The 52-year-old actress played Julie from 2008 to 2015 and returned to the ITV soap last year for Eileen Grimshaw’s departure storyline.
In a poignant twist, Katy’s character Julie was written out of the show after revealing her cancer diagnosis. Apart from her Coronation Street role, Katy has been recognized for her work in The Cops, The Bill, Bob and Rose, and Murder on the Blackpool Express.
Interestingly, Katy’s family also shines in the entertainment industry. She and her producer husband Chris Jupe are proud parents to three children, including their actor sons Noah, aged 20, and Jacobi, aged 12. Both Noah and Jacobi recently appeared in the film Hamnet alongside Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, and Joe Alwyn.
In Hamnet, Jacobi portrayed the character of Hamnet Shakespeare, while Noah took on the role of Hamlet. Prior to their roles in Hamnet, Jacobi appeared in the Disney film Peter Pan and Wendy as Michael Darling, and in TV shows like Britannia, Tom Jones, and Before. Meanwhile, Noah has built an impressive acting portfolio, featuring in movies like A Quiet Place, A Quiet Place Part II, The Undoing, Ford v Ferrari, and Suburbicon.
Noah shared insights into his family’s film background in an interview with Variety, highlighting the advantage of having parents familiar with the industry. Recently, Katy proudly attended the 2026 BAFTA Tea Party in Beverly Hills with her sons, preceding the prestigious BAFTA Film Awards known for predicting Oscars success.
