Cher’s youthful looks aren’t simply the product of some very fortunate DNA, however. The star has been open in the past about how much cosmetic work she’s put into looking so good in her eighth decade.

She has admitted to having had a facelift, breast augmentation, and rhinoplasty before going under the knife in search of youth.

She retorted about having a facelift in 2018, saying, “Yes, but who hasn’t? “

Cher last appeared on the popular US talk show Talk Show in a cameo on Saturday Night Live’s 50th Anniversary Special back in February.

The global star’s SNL gig comes just a week after she broke her silence on whether she would tie the knot with her toyboy, 39-year-old Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards.

Cher, who has been married twice, made a second-time spokesperson’s rumor that she intended to get married again. There are no wedding plans in her future, they claimed.

The actress who played Katie Fitch in the critically acclaimed drama Skins revealed the “minimum wage” realities of the defining drama and why she is finally taking ownership of her 34-year-old self.

To the millions of teenagers who tuned into Channel 4 in the late 2000s, Skins was the ultimate badge of cool – a gritty, hedonistic, and unapologetic look at British youth. But for the actors at the heart of the storm, the reality was far less glamorous.

Megan Prescott, who shot to fame at just 16 as the abrasive but vulnerable Katie Fitch, has become the latest star to call out the show’s legacy. In a new interview with Cosmopolitan, the 34-year-old has slammed the “hypocrisy” of an industry that sexualised her as a child for profit, only to judge her for taking ownership of that same sexuality as an adult.

“I’m treated better on OnlyFans than I was on Skins,” she revealed to the magazine. While Skins launched the careers of Hollywood heavyweights like Nicholas Hoult, Dev Patel, and Daniel Kaluuya, Megan revealed that for the regular cast, the financial rewards didn’t match the level of fame.

Megan claimed that the cast were essentially working for pennies despite appearing on one of the most popular shows ever to air in British television. She said, “We worked it out by the hour once, and it was minimum wage.”

While £400 a week felt like a fortune to a 16-year-old in the mid-2000s, the long-term reality was bleak. Due to the nature of their contracts, the stars see no residuals from the show’s massive success on streaming platforms like Netflix.

The safeguarding on set, or lack thereof, is the most important aspect of Megan’s criticism. She discusses how she approached filming explicit scenes as a teenager with older actors, a stance that other former students, like Kaya Scodelario, have taken to criticism in recent years.

Megan demonstrates a flagrant double standard in how society views women. She contends that the sexualized child star industry is happy to “skinny-dip” in its profits, but that it turns its back on those same women who choose to do it themselves.

She continued, “We constantly see it with child stars.” They are highly sexualized, but when they reach the point where they are like, “You’re right, this does make money, but I’m going to be the main benefactor of it,” “people are like, “Stop, I don’t like the idea of you selling sexuality.”

She continues, “I have always felt the hypocrisy.” Why can’t I, as a mature woman, take control of my body and sexuality and make three times as much money if we are all ok with me having sex scenes on television as a child?

Megan had a brutal “reality check” thanks to Leaving Skins. She moved into smaller roles in Holby City and Silent Witness before the show’s defining status, which made it difficult for her to find consistent acting work.

She initially denied being a victim of “internalized misogyny,” citing fear that the acting industry would have blacklisted her for working in strip clubs as a young woman.

Her life changed before the pandemic. Megan followed a friend’s advice and created an OnlyFans account after being furloughed by a manager. She claims that the decision has had a transformative impact on both financially and emotionally.

The former child star claimed she has finally found a place where she serves as the “main benefactor” of her own brand by removing the “middleman” of the streaming and production companies.

After six years, the teen drama, which aired on E4, came to an end.

Channel 4 has been contacted for comment.

Sam Thompson and Paddy McGuinness, both from TV, collaborated to deliver a special package to Wigan.

As they attempted to deliver goods in a cutting-edge electric lorry, Paddy McGuinness and Sam Thompson decided to switch the spotlight to high-visibility jackets. However, as Sam quickly realized there was much more going on than he had anticipated as he soon realised that driver Paddy was on the journey.

By piloting one of the new electric heavy goods vehicles in Amazon’s delivery network, which was loaded with donations for The Multibank charity, TV legends were booked to provide both laughter and essential support to families in need. Sam served as his eager but unqualified “Driver’s Mate” while Paddy, who has a valid HGV driving license, took the wheel of the electric truck.

Paddy explained the experience, “I’ve driven a lot of electric vehicles, but this was my first time driving an electric HGV.”

“Making this special Amazon delivery to families who need The Multibank’s support this Christmas, while also doing our bit for the environment, was a no-brainer for me”

However, Sam quickly discovered that this position requires significantly more lifting and loading in addition to chit-chat and tea breaks.

Paddy continued, “Love the lad to bits, but any more of his Driver’s Mate skills will need to be improved.” The better for everyone and the planet the more deliveries we can make using these kinds of vehicles.

Supplies were delivered to The Brick Multibank in Wigan by Paddy and Sam. By redistributing surplus goods donated by businesses to those who were most in need, the charitable scheme, which Amazon established in 2022, was intended to assist families and individuals who were in poverty.

More than 12 million essential items have been distributed to over 800,000 families so far in the UK’s six Multibank distribution centers.

One of the first deliveries of electric HGVs from the UK’s largest-ever order of electric vehicles last month, the journey of Paddy and Sam was made in an all-electric Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 truck, which marked a crucial step in Amazon’s pledge to decarbonize its transport network.

Sam Thompson said: “When I got the call up from Amazon to be Paddy’s mate, I jumped at the idea. I thought we’d catch up, grab brunch, maybe belt out some karaoke. Being a ‘Driver’s Mate’ is a lot harder than it looks.

Even though Paddy can’t get his head around the god tier car snack of a Green Pepperami and a raw mushroom, Evie made it special.

It’s amazing to see the work Amazon is doing to increase the sustainability of all of our deliveries, jokes aside.

However, there are plenty of positive reviews on the Pure Tone Aesthetics website, despite the fact that the Pure Tone Glow LED Face Mask hasn’t received any Debenhams reviews. One person claimed that the mask was of high quality and pricey. My skin tone is more even and flawless.

Another said, “The glow is real! ” After a week, I noticed it, and I’ve used it ever since.

A third person wrote, “The mask feels high-quality and the packaging is premium.” I adore how the LED light helps to increase hydration and glow in the serum.

Four star ratings, which still have reviews like “The calming effect it has on inflammation is amazing,” are actually the lowest ratings. “Spots have gotten clear more quickly, and pigmentation has disappeared more quickly.”
