LUCY DITCHES HER IMPLANTS

Lucy Pargeter (right) has revealed she’s had her Dd-sized breast implants removed and ‘couldn’t be happier with the result’. The Emmerdale actress said: ‘My removal was nothing to do with not being able to breathe, I was just shocked with how much air my lungs could expand after my implants were taken off my rib cage. My explant was because of many other health problems.’ The 42 year old, who had the ‘deformed’ implants removed after 11 years, added: ‘Hopefully my joint problems and anxiety and the rashes on my chest and the pain I get in my chest and armpits will be gone.’

SHERIDAN DROPS THE DRINK

Sheridan Smith (left) has admitted she’s stopped drinking after alcohol caused her to accuse her fiancé Jamie Horn’s mum of killing her dog. ‘You can’t do it without support but [Jamie] knows and I know I’m so much better for not drinking,’ said the 38 year old. The actress, who is on anxiety medication, also revealed a joke by Graham Norton at the 2016 BAFTAS about her performance in the West End production of Funny Girl ‘tipped me over the edge’. ‘I just lost it. I was in unbelievable distress,’ said the star, who was also dealing with her late father Colin’s cancer diagnosis.

PADDY GETS THE SNIP

Paddy Mcguinness (below) has revealed he’s had a vasectomy. The Top Gear presenter, 45, who is dad to Felicity, three, and five-year-old twins Penelope and Leo with his wife Christine, 31, said: ‘If you’re thinking about having a vasectomy and are a little bit reluctant, as I was, the initial anaesthetic, what they give you into the ol’ pippins, I’m not gonna lie, that’s tender. It made my eyes water a little bit. But after that, honestly, it’s a doddle.’ Paddy added on Instagram: ‘The key thing is getting lots of rest and icing them bad boys up!!! No swelling, no turning funny colours, no pain.’
