A gran dubbed the ‘UK’s most prolific shoplifter’ after stealing Sh280 million (£2million) of products in 45 years is leading fitness classes and addiction workshops to help hundreds of people cope in lockdown. Kim Farry, 59, went to prison for theft and subsequently was branded the country’s ‘shoplifting queen’.

Since coronavirus lockdown though, the gran-of-10 has been “changing lives” by leading virtual fitness classes, helping people lose weight and fight addiction. She has previously been turned down for work as an escort because of her criminal record. She hopes the work will “finally give her a break in life” as she’s become “heartbroken” at desperately trying to change her image.
