Our thanks to Jeff for this. Extracts:
“Liz Hurley has encouraged women to check themselves for breast cancer – and warned some are not because they “are scared that it’s self-indulgent to spend time on themselves”.
The British actress and model, who has been a global ambassador for the Estee Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign for 30 years, told Sky News’ Jacquie Beltrao the demands of everyday life mean women “always put ourselves last”. [J4MB: We’ve noticed that…]
“We’re doing stuff for kids, for husbands, for mothers, for in-laws. There’s so much that we have to do that we tend to come last,” she said.

““We’re doing stuff for kids, for husbands, for mothers, for in-laws. There’s so much that we have to do that we tend to come last,” A serious topic but I have to say the idea Liz Hurley or any of her class of pampered “stars” does any of these things, rather than their nannies, PAs, Cooks, Maids or general “hired help” made me laugh out loud!
