‘Check Your Boobs’ – which was sung by a celebrity line-up headlined by ‘Show Me The Way To Amarillo’ star Tony Christie – is the lead song from the forthcoming ‘Wendy’s World’ musical.

The theatre production is set to be satire-ridden take on the life of Chesterfield’s own Wendy Watson who made history 30 years ago when she became the first woman in Britain to have both breasts removed in preventative surgery.
