SHE once took “naughty” slimming pills in a bid to keep trim – but Helen Lederer reckons she has finally learned to accept her body the way it is.
Helen, who will be seen on Corrie next Wednesday catching the eye of Ken Barlow at a singles night, says she was thrilled to star opposite“Bill was such a charming, lovely man,” says Helen, who admits that she “dropped everything” when she was offered the role. Helen began her career as a stand-up comic at London’s Comedy Store, and she soon became one of the country’s most popular TV personalities, working alongside acts including French & Saunders, Rik Mayall and Harry Enfield.But being a young woman in the male-dominated world of comedy was not easy and Helen recalls how she had to develop a thick skin.
“I would dress in a functional manner and not wear clothes where anyone could see my bosoms or my you know what,” says Helen, who has a daughter called Hannah, 33, with her first husband Roger Alton, a former newspaper editor she was married to from 1989 to 1991.“People can’t help themselves with making comments.”Chris Browne since 1999 for 25 years, persevered and landed a semi-regular role on ratings giant Ab Fab as ditzy mag employee Catriona.
