The shape I’m in: Cathy Belton, actress

CATHY Belton is having a ball playing Patricia Hennessy in new TV3 soap Red Rock.

Set in a fictional harbour town, the show centres around a busy Garda station and Hennessy is one of the chief villains. Cathy says it’s “lovely to be in at the start of something” and she finds her character a great one to play.

“There’s plenty of drama with her. You never know what she’s going to do next from one script to another. The reaction to her has been wonderful — people love to hate her.”
