Tina O’Brien, who played gymslip mum Sarah-Lou in Coronation Street was worried about all the booze she’d put away before the stick turned blue.

Stressed out about giving a best man’s speech or speaking in front of your bosses?

Need another excuse to drink tea? I didn’t think so.

Meat-fans’ favourite diet, Atkins, may be just as effective and safe as a low-fat diet, despite all the other surveys and the founder dying a bloated man.
