EXCLUSIVE: TV legend and Coronation Street newcomer Helen Lederer once starred on ITV’s The Real Full Monty and revealed just how she felt about her nude experience
Star of Coronation Street Helen Lederer remembered her first time taking off her clothes on ITV.
2018 saw Helen bravely remove her outfit for a charitable event, joining other well-known people including Coleen Nolan and Megan McKenna. According to Helen, it was “a lot” and not her best experience.
Nevertheless, she stood tall and persevered till the very end of the show. Still, she “prayed the lights would go out at the right moment” with a cheeky smile.
Talking about whether she would strip off again for a TV show, Helen, 69, said: “I think people would pay me not to this time around. I think you have to kind of think ‘enough is enough’.
“But who knows? I mean, TV shows like Naked Attraction, I just don’t know how people do that. I always say that people always look so much better with their clothes on.”
The Absolutely Fabulous and Coronation Street actress will soon be turning 70 and to commemorate her milestone she has just released a memoir. The book is titled ‘Not That I’m Bitter’.
Talking about her new book, Helen said: “I decided to write the book just to remind myself that I’ve done. I think sometimes you get to this stage in life and you go, did I do those things? And it’s a sort of snakes and ladders type map, which you also feel, you know, the ups and downs.
“So I thought, right, I’m just going to put it all down. It’s kind of a ‘now or never’ type of moment really.”
Helen also shared with her followers some of the details of her 2017 stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house. “I discuss what it was like to be in the Big Brother house,” the woman stated. My daughter found it funny that I appeared to be normal in comparison to others from the outside.
“But sometimes there were three different arguments going on around me, with people yelling in the kitchen, other people yelling on the fake grass outside… I explained what it felt like to be emotionally in the midst of all those people and be in the pecking order. Yeah, I think maybe that would be the most surprising thing in the book.”
