SOAPBOX: THE HAPPY COUPLE GO NECK TO NECKING.
(From The Mirror)
Byline: Tony Stewart

Lorraine Chase may have been wafted in from Luton Airport to advertise Campari all those years ago, but as a man-eating future mum- in-law, she's all Martini girl. Any time, any place, anywhere is her motto as she moves in for some serious necking...
