Sitting for nearly two hours, the Whole Again singer could hardly move as the two make-up girls went to work creating the beauty and the beast.

The D-MYST smoking campaign is run by young people in Liverpool and targets smoking in films and the media.

Ex-smoker Liz, who has been offered two big screen roles, reckons she would turn them down if they required her to smoke.

Getting ready to dash off to the Brit awards, Liz warned people of the effects smoking can have on the body.

The sexy Scouser said: "I can't understand why anyone would smoke and risk doing this to themselves.

"I smoked for four years and my skin was spotty and grey-looking and I thought it was my diet.
