There’s the generation who watched Outnumbered and every now and then there are the people who watched me in The Sarah Jane Adventures when they were little, who have now turned into teenagers,” Samantha says. “Then, of course, there are middle-aged men who go misty-eyed at Moneypenny.” However, Samantha is the first to admit that her screen status has also led to some slightly unfortunate and embarrassing encounters. Laughing as she recalls one such moment in a London spa, Samantha says, “It was an all-female spa so you have a white fluffy towel and dressing gown and that’s all.” After she enjoyed a day using the facilities, Samantha then went for a shower. The mum-of-two continues, “There were two or three cubicles but there were no curtains. There was a dispensing machine on the wall that said, ‘Please help yourself to shampoo and body wash.’ So I hung up my dressing gown and happened to say out loud, ‘Wouldn’t it be helpful if they told you which one was the shampoo and which one was the body wash.’ “Then a woman – also stark naked – jumped Clockwise, from above: Samantha with out of her shower and said, ‘Oh my God, you’re Claire Skinner in Outnumbered; with Pierce Samantha Bond – I’d recognise that voice Brosnan in GoldenEye; in The Queen And I anywhere.’ We both stood looking at each other trying to have a conversation. I wanted to say, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t speak, I’ve got no clothes on.’” Fortunately, Samantha says that when she’s recognised nowadays it’s much more low-key, and often includes people stopping her to chat about what she describes as one of her most joyous jobs to date, ITV’s smash hit period drama Downton Abbey. Samantha played Lady Rosamund Painswick throughout the six series and also starred in its final episode three years ago. The star says, “When people say, ‘What effect has Downton Abbey had on your career? you think, ‘Really, in your fifties, it would take a miracle to affect your career.’ The big joy was that not only did I already know a lot of the older members of the cast, but also now having Laura [Carmichael], Allen [Leech] and Michelle [Dockery] in my life is a blessing that I couldn’t even put into words.

S MAGAZINE ★ 16 DECEMBER 2018 31 In the closet with Charlie de Melo The Coronation Street actor goes back to basics Words and styling by Tricia Welch

Charlie, 28, joined Coronation Street as Imran Habeeb last year after appearing in The Interceptor, Casualty and Doctors and playing PC Jaz Jones in EastEnders. He has worked in theatre and was in the film, Jarhead 3: The Siege, as Jamal. He lives in Manchester. How would you describe your style? I don’t think I have one. I wear what’s appropriate to the situation but I like the idea of dressing up, which probably explains why I do what I do for a living. Which colours suit you best? I like blues and dark reds and maroon – not sure if they suit me – plus I wear a lot of black and white. Do you have a favourite fashion era? A few years ago I appeared onstage in Breakfast At Tiffany’s, set in the 40s, and wore a custom- made suit with high-waisted, wide-legged trousers, braces and a trilby hat. I absolutely loved that. It was comfortable and stylish. Which are your favourite labels and shops? I don’t shop often but when I do I head to Gap and Uniqlo, not particularly cutting edge, in or out of fashion, which is why I like them. When it comes to fashion day-to-day I’m as basic as possible. Who is your favourite designer? Tom Ford. His clothes are timeless and classic, which appeals to me because they transcend fashion. I hope that doesn’t sound pretentious – and I wouldn’t pretend I can afford his clothes. Can you describe Imran’s style? Sharp, booted and suited. He’s very conscious about the way he dresses. Even though he works in a pretty grotty office, he wants to present a slick version of himself as high flying and wheeler-dealing. His The actor wears clothes give him confidence. That’s why I love his denim jacket with playing him – the further away a character is a Uniqlo striped from your personality, the less self-conscious T-shirt, blue chino you can be.

S MAGAZINE ★ 16 DECEMBER 2018 33 Finding your As more of us suffer injury after a fall, Marina Gask looks at why we lose our balance and what we can do to prevent it

hile we tend to associate falls with the elderly, falling is an issue all women should be aware of postmenopause W because of the increased risk of fractures it carries. “Any fall can have serious consequences,” warns Rebecca Mackenzie, clinical service manager for falls and bone health at Teddington Memorial Hospital. “Women past the menopause are vulnerable to osteoporosis and half of all 75 year olds will have the condition.” Fractures are common among osteoporosis sufferers because of their poor bone density and the consequences of a fall can be problematic. Rebecca says, “No one thinks about this when they turn 50 but it’s vital to be aware of the risk factors for fracture, as there’s no screening for osteoporosis. A broken wrist can be the first indication that you have osteoporosis and the outcome of breaking a hip can be dramatic. Sadly, 30 per cent of people who fall and break a hip die within three to six months, especially if they are elderly, because of postoperative complications, while at least 40 per cent won’t walk independently again.” Government statistics show about 255,000 people aged over 65 were admitted to hospital after a fall in 2013-14, falling was a main cause of injury among older people and the total annual cost of fragility fractures is estimated at £4.4bn.

The risk factors OPostural stability: “The majority of falls in the elderly are due to poor postural stability. This is because our balance reactions get worse as we get older,” explains Rebecca. “Our ability to stay balanced is made up of three things – vision, proprioception (the sense through which we perceive the position and movement of our bodies) and the vestibular

You will need: Brown paper, sharp scissors, twine, glue, ribbon, gift tags

Top right: Get crafty and add some bespoke touches to your present wrapping. I love the simplicity of brown paper packages tied with twine but you can take them to another level of loveliness just by adding a few sprigs of foliage. I’ve used snippets of bay, ivy, rosemary and yew, which are easy to find, will tolerate not being in water for a week or so, and smell divine. Secure the stems of the tightly bound foliage with twine and tie with a bow

Main: This yew and rosemary mini wreath looks stunning and is so simple to make. Start by cutting a ring out of a piece of brown card – it can be any size just make sure it fits the present. Cut small sprigs of the foliage and start to stick it around the card ring – a hot glue gun is perfect for this task but any glue will do. Keep adding sprigs of greenery until the ring is completely covered. Ensure the ends of the foliage don’t extend over the inner opening of the card ring. Stick the finished mini wreath to the wrapped present and finish off with a twine ribbon

Right: These handmade Christmas gift tags will make your presents look extra- special. Take a brown card luggage tag and glue a small sprig of greenery or a single ivy leaf to the front of it and secure the stem of the sprig with an embroidered ribbon
