TV personality Lisa Maxwell has revealed she requires therapy on a weekly basis due to using ‘heavy’ prosthetic breasts.
According to a Sunday newspaper, the ‘heavy’ appendages were necessary for a theatrical run of Calendar Girls.
The 55-year-old ex Loose Women panellist wore the artificial boobs after reportedly being informed she wasn’t curvy enough to play a particular role in the hit play.
However, former EastEnders actress Lisa – who has also starred in The Bill and alongside comedian Russ Abbott on telly – has claimed the weight of the prosthetics left her with pulled muscles in her neck.

It is also believed the strain ‘put her back out’.
Lisa is reported to have told The Sun: “The thing about my character is she’s incredibly well endowed, and I’m not.”
Describing how the solution has affected her, she continued: “I’ve got the biggest pair of chicken fillets you’ve ever seen! They weigh a ton and I’ve actually pulled muscles in my neck. I have to have physio every week because of my boobies being too heavy.”

According to the tabloid, Lisa’s character Celia – played by Celia Imrie in the film version – wears a DD cup bra while Lisa is apparently a B.
Ex Hollyoaks actress Lisa also admitted she had been nervous about stripping off on stage – but found performing without clothes somewhat freeing.
“It’s been a breakthrough for me, I’ve found it quite liberating,” she added.
