We hope your breakfast is well digested and if you are at all queasy, we would recommend that you look away now, because we have a dubious treat for you this morning.

Alice Barry has decided to get fully behind (see what we did there?) the Sports Relief cause this year, and instead of swimming the Thames, doing five million marathons or climbing a huge mountain somewhere in the world, the 66 year old Shameless actress decided to pose for a saucy picture instead.

The pensioner – best known as local busy body Lillian Tyler on the Channel 4 drama – has posed for a tongue in cheek (not literally) recreation of the “Tennis Girl” Athena poster and shows off her assets, cellulite and all!

Speaking about her decision to take part in he campaign, Alice said:

“What better reason to get my kit off than for Sport Relief. Move over Andy Murray, there’s a new tennis champ in town.”

Alice has previously starred as Peggy Hargreaves in Clocking Off, she also featured regularly in Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights and Bob & Rose, and has had minor roles in Linda Green and The Royal.
