Blackpool actress Hayley Tamaddon opens up about new perimenopausal symptom
Blackpool born actress Hayley Tamaddon has opened up on social media about her new found “perimenopausal symptom”.
Former Emmerdale star, Hayley, 47, took to her Instagram story this week to share a health update with her 98k followers.
The mum of one shared a video of herself sitting on a sofa whilst wearing a hoodie and cap with overlay text that read “#nobuttcheeks”.
The video starts with Hayley taking a big inhale of breah before staring sternly at the camera and saying “My new perimenopausal symptom is red cheeks.”
The former Norbreck Primary and Montgomery High pupil then shakes her head side by side with a grimace on her face as she continues: “Red cheeks just out of nowhere.”
In a comical fashion, Hayley then added: “Hot! Red! Cheeks! And not the ones down below. The ones on my face!”
