The article features on the front page of the health section and runs for three pages. It covers Diabetes UK?s Care For A Cuppa campaign which is supported by the entertainer Christopher Biggins:
Christopher Biggins is enjoying afternoon tea in the faintly lurid living room of his home in Hackney, East London.

And perhaps he is right.
