Plastic surgeons overwhelmed with requests for coveted 'Wigan face'

COSMETIC surgeons worldwide are fielding a massive influx of clients who want to be given the unique look of lifelong Wigan residents. 

Clinics have waiting lists up to a year long of wealthy clients demanding their faces be sculpted into something ‘more Northern’ and ‘like they enjoy a good pie’.

Surgeon Dr Helen Archer says: “Dramatic, emphasised jowls, lines around the mouth that suggest you’re affluent enough to constantly have a vape on the go – it’s a look that’s going places.

“I’ve had clients tell me that once I lowered their brow line, they got asked out on dates by minicab drivers and aced job interviews for evening work at a chippy. Looking the part truly opens doors anywhere from Eccles to Skelmersdale.

“And it’s not just the ladies. Men are desperate to look like they were born at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary and are munching a kebab on King Street after a night at the roller rink.”

Dr Archer offers a ‘full Wigan package’ for as little as £30,000, with payment plans available, but warns: “You have to know that this is a look you want to commit to.

“If you change your mind, it’s very hard to turn a Wigan face into a St Helens or a Warrington face.”

Gillian Anderson's acting career succession of ever more challenging wanks

GILLIAN Anderson’s portrayal of a depressed alcoholic in Channel 4 drama Trespasses has confirmed she chooses roles to challenge her fans’ masturbatory boundaries. 

While critics claim she is making bold, principled decisions to play unglamorous yet emotionally rich characters, Anderson herself admits she is testing how far she can go before men and women stop unzipping within moments of her appearing on screen.

Anderson said: “Trespasses is an unflinching depiction of the horrors of the Troubles. I’m smashed, in a cardigan, with a Northern Irish accent. Get off to that.

“What will it take for you to stop scrabbling at your filthy genitalia when you see my name in the credits? I’ve been coated in cobwebs as Miss Havisham and togged up as both Eleanor Roosevelt and Wallis Simpson. All just variety night in your spank bank, wasn’t it?

“Even playing that duplicitous Salt Path hobo got me letters from guys fantasising about being a ‘kindly’ B&B owner along the route. I’d play Bruce Forsyth as Satan but I know you’d only see it as me throwing down the gauntlet.

“After all, Thatcher didn’t put you off. And a consistent record of self-abuse is the measure for gaining entry to my official fan club.”

Fan Martin Bishop said: “I didn’t like that book she wrote about wanking. I felt that was pandering and exploitative.”
