Dame Maureen Lipman, 74, is considering going under the knife after looking at recent footage of herself on a recent ITV job. The Coronation Street actress has however said she would be frightened to death of a botched job as she wants to improve the “two sacks” under her eyes.
After seeing a clip of herself under unflattering lighting, Maureen said: “I thought, ‘My God, you’re growing to look like a peregrine falcon, Maureen, with a disproportionate beak’.

“It would all coagulate in one place,’ she added.
