The Sheffield-born actress has largely shunned fame since leaving the programme – but do you remember her character?
Chloe played Vicky McDonald – and was the second actress to take on the role.
A year prior to her joining, the role was briefly played by Helen Warbuton.
Vicky made her arrival in Weatherfield as the daughter of Alec Gilroy.
She soon wound up becoming the first wife of Steve McDonald – one of many.
Vicky was raised by Alec and Bet following her parent’s death where she inherited a huge £240,000 after turning 18.
Steve soon became to get rather happy with splashing Vicky’s cash and their marriage ended up crumbling soon after Christmas 1995 when he spent a fortune on stolen whiskey.
Vicky eventually went off to Brighton to run her very own wine bar.
In 1999, it ran into financial difficulty and she was forced to call on Bet for a loan in order to keep things afloat.
She soon after married a man named Martin with Bet revealing in 2002 that they were still happily married.
Vicky has seldom been mentioned since.
Off-screen, Chloe has shunned fame and lives a quiet family life with her children.
She is understood to still live in her hometown of Sheffield and shares snaps of her family life on Instagram.
