Abi Titmuss goes from Lads' mag pin-up to award-winning actress
EXCLUSIVE by Adam Lee-Potter 7/02/2010
Abi Titmuss is nothing if not a mistress of reinvention. The sexy girl-next-door who shed her nurse’s uniform to romp in a sex video before emerging as the nation’s favourite glamour girl has taken on yet another role. And it might just be her most convincing yet.
