And the 51-year-old is urging people to come down and get their coronavirus jab today (December 22) - on the site's last day open before Christmas.

In a post on Twitter, Julie wrote: "ATTENTION! Tameside residents!

"Last day for pre Xmas booster at Hattersley Gas Works, SK14 3QU Short walk from Tesco.

"I’m vaccine runner. YOU CAN ALSO GET YOUR FIRST OR SECOND JAB!

"Anyone over 12 in the right time frame welcome. Loads of slots."

The Hattersley site opened at 10am and is open until 8pm, for both booked appointments and walk-in vaccinations.
