OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Maureen Lipman is considering having work done because she is starting to “look like a peregrine falcon”.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress was left shocked when she spotted herself with a “disproportionate beak” on the small screen, but she is “frightened to death” about things going wrong if she did have any surgery.
She said: “I thought, ‘My God, you’re growing to look like a peregrine falcon, Maureen, with a disproportionate beak.
“What can I do? Everyone’s having stuff injected into their faces … I’m frightened to death – I know what would happen.
“It would all coagulate in one place.”
Last month, it was confirmed Maureen – who plays Evelyn Plummer in the ITV soap – had been made a dame for her services to charity, entertainment and the arts.
But the 74-year-old star believes the coronavirus lockdown could wreck her chances of an investiture ceremony, where she would be awarded her damehood, and joked “Sophie the Duchess of Wessex will chuck it at me” instead.  
Speaking on the ‘Tea With Twiggy’ podcast, she added: “I can’t imagine the Queen is going to come out of lockdown for me and Mary Berry.
“I’ll be outside the Rovers Return in a ridiculous hairstyle and she’ll be in Windsor, and that will be that.”
Maureen recently admitted she was “proud” of the damehood, and thanked the queen.
She said: “I am proud to be honoured by the queen and country that I love, for doing the work that I love. My grandfather was given the freedom to live and work in the historic and welcoming city of Hull after fleeing persecution in Russia.
“Two generations later that same city gave me, his granddaughter, a full grant to live and study drama at Lamda in London, which led to a rich and rewarding career, giving and receiving pleasure in my craft and now to this unexpected damehood, whilst happily still treading the cobbles of ‘Corrie’.
“It is a wonderful reflection on what, one trusts, is the continuing generosity of this country to the immigrant. So, gratefully, Happy Birthday your Majesty and thank you.”
