Actor and comedian Diane Morgan has been awarded an honorary doctorate by the university in her home town of Bolton. And the Cunk and Motherland star had the audience in stitches as she delivered a heart-warming and hilarious graduation speech.
"That it was an impossible dream. That you need maths! You don't need maths. You don't need maths for anything - take that Rishi Sunak."The Bafta-nominated actor, 47, also discussed some of the jobs she'd had, including working in a chippy and 'packing worming tablets', as she tried to break into acting. And she revealed she'd been sacked from the tea rooms at the Last Drop Village hotel in Bolton 'for not knowing what a cream tea is'.
