A STUNNING Brookside actress has barely aged despite two decades passing since her stellar soap role.
The Channel 4 star, 45 – who also featured in adverts for Halifax bank during her acting career – now has a very normal job.
Tiffany Eglin, formerly Tiffany Chapman, played Brookside‘s Rachel Jordache.
The brunette actress, who kept her locks in a shoulder-length style, enjoyed two stints on the soap, firstly between 1993 and 1996 then returning in 1997 for six years.
She starred in Emmerdale prior to finding fame in Brookside, with her character suffering a difficult family life and arriving on the show in a safehouse facility.
She was abused by her father Trevor and barely saw her mum Mandy – with her sister Beth also passing away in prison.
Yet Trevor, played by Bryan Murray, eventually died at the hands of Mandy, who proceeded to bury him under the patio.
Her character went on to marry Mike Dixon and have a baby, and she left the soap in 2003 when it came to an end.
Later in her career, Tiffany took on a role in rival soap Hollyoaks in 2007, and has also starred in Doctors.
Back in 2016 she changed tack, opting to play a Halifax bank teller in an advert for the company.
She starred alongside cartoon Top Cat who arrived in-branch begging for money.
Now, Tiffany has shunned small screen fame for a completely different career.
She works as a dental receptionist at the Apollonia House Dental and Healthcare facility in Oldham – yet looks completely the same.
Her profile picture on the company’s website shows her side-profile, flashing a beaming smile.
Another Instagram snap, taken to celebrate her Brookside co star Vince Earl’s 80th birthday sees her fresh-faced glow.
She has kept her brunette locks a similar length, wearing her hair in a half-up style, and vamped her look with thick black eye make-up.
Over the years the likes of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street have all tried to try outdo each other with their outlandish plots in a bid to keep us tuning in each week. But here are some of the darkest that had fans in shock…
Off-screen, Tiffany married husband Jonathan Eglin in 2002.
The couple announced their engagement in 2001 with a magazine shoot.
Tiffany is also the daughter of former footballer Les Chapman, 75, a former football player and manager.
It came after we reported how Tiffany’s former co-star Helen Grace looked unrecognisable from her screen role in a new CBBC show.
Additionally, their former Brookside colleague Louis Emerick recently clapped back at criticism directed towards soaps, suggesting there was a “stigma” and snobbery around the shows.
BBC Breakfast star Naga Munchetty has gone missing for a second day in a row – and was replaced by a familiar host.
It comes after the BBC recently revealed that Naga made £25,000 in the month of June on top of her usual salary for presenting the breakfast show.
Naga, 49, and Charlie Stayt, 62, usually team up to present BBC Breakfast from Thursday through to Saturday.
However, she was nowhere to be seen this morning when a familiar face, Nina Warhurst, 43, stepped up to help give the nation the latest news headlines.
She delivered news on a number of topics, from the death of national treasure Maggie Smith to the introduction of banking hubs.
It’s unclear why Naga wasn’t on BBC Breakfast this morning, but the show is no stranger to hosting shake-ups as presenters regularly swap in for each other.
Nina usually appears on BBC Breakfast as a business and consumer affairs reporter, but it’s not the first time she’s had to step up to co-present the morning news show.
Recently she stepped in twice within two weeks to cover Sally Nugent earlier this month. Sally, 53, usually hosts the programme with John Kay, 54, on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
While Naga was missed by fans, many viewers were happy to see Nina get a chance to present.
“Absolute delight to see the lovely Nina Warhurst reading the main news,” one fan gushed on X, formerly Twitter.
“So lovely to see you rising in the broadcasting ranks, Nina. You are absolutely my favourite presenter,” praised another.
Naga’s absence comes after the BBC revealed how much the breakfast star made on top of her annual £345,000 salary, which makes her one of the broadcaster’s highest-earning presenters.
She has previously spoken about how she works hard for her salary and has to be in the BBC Breakfast studio by 4.50am.
Presenters are also allowed to pick up extra earnings by being hired at after-dinner speeches, hosting Q&A sessions for firms, and handing out gongs at corporate bashes.
Staff disclose their extra earnings to BBC bosses and the amounts are published by the corporation under transparency rules.
And the latest BBC External Events Register has shown that Naga was paid between £5,000 and £10,000 for hosting a Veuve Cliquot awards ceremony in London on 13 June.
On June 16, she was paid up to £5,000 for hosting an event for an organisation called Stardust.
Naga also picked up between £5,000 and £10,000 for being an interviewer for software firm NICE Systems on 25 June.
The flagship BBC show has had dozens of presenters during its impressive 40 years on air but the current stars are:
Jon Kay – Since 2022
Sally Nugent – Since 2021
Charlie Stayt – Since 2006
Naga Munchetty – Since 2014
Carol Kirkwood – Since 1997
CONOR McGREGOR has challenged Belal Muhammad to a massive world title fight and urged UFC president Dana White to book it in an intense rant.
McGregor, 36, hasn’t competed inside the octagon since his horror leg break at UFC 264 three years ago against Dustin Poirier.
The Irish bruiser was all set for a comeback fight against Michael Chandler at UFC 303 last June.
However, the Notorious broke his left pinky toe in one of his final sparring sessions and that forced him out of the bout.
The MMA star revealed to SunSport that he was forced to go up a shoe size because of the injury but insists he is still fighting fit.
Now Chandler is locking horns with Charles Oliveira at UFC 309 in November, which leaves McGregor without an opponent for possibly the rest of the year.
The Irishman still wants to face the American but is now targeting welterweight gold.
The UFC superstar has his eyes set on Muhammad, who dethroned Leon Edwards for the belt at UFC 304 in July.
The popular fighter didn’t hold back on his assessment of the welterweight champion as he called him “woeful” and belittled his stats.
McGregor said during his appearance at a Kick stream for Duelbits: “He’s woeful.
“I want to fight him. Okay, Chandler’s matched, let’s schedule Belal-McGregor UFC welterweight world title on the line.
“I’ve multiple knockouts at 170lb, I’m a force to be reckoned with at 170lb.
“I do damage at welterweight, check the stats. I’ve done them at 100 per cent accuracy, this man doesn’t even have a knockdown in UFC history.
“Not one knockdown, it’s embarrassing, to be honest. I was kind of slow rolling the person because I just don’t a b*s.
“They’re all bums in the thing. You don’t be interested, come to me, but for the strap? Yes, next, yes please. Stall it Dana and the lads.”
