A mum has been jailed for six months after trying to con the NHS out of more than £5.7 million as she jetted off around the world.

Linda Metcalf, 37, claimed she could hardly walk or stand, rarely went out and couldn’t even dress herself. She claimed because of her local trust’s medical negligence she needed sticks to get around and was unable to drive.

But when they put her under surveillance they discovered instead of being housebound, she had been travelling to the other side of the world.

They also found out she had been going on posh shopping trips without any assistance. Between her visits to doctors to pursue her claim, she visited New Zealand, Fiji, Hong Kong, Lanzarote, Tenerife, Thailand, Wales, Scotland and Scarborough promenade.

Many actors get aroused while filming sex scenes — here’s what happens next

David Thackeray recently told Insider. Thackeray added that a “time-out” is called for the stars to collect themselves and coordinators must also make sure the actors’ needs are met.“Just making it really clear that’s normal and that the worst thing you can do is carry on,” he revealed, adding that coordinators should be clear that, “Hey, this can happen.”Intimacy coordinators are the ones who keep love scenes running smoothly on set and help choreograph sex movements and intimate action, as well as help make the actors feel comfortable during awkward scenes.
