A beautician who filmed herself gasping for breath while fighting for her life is celebrating being given a second chance by competing to win £100,000 on a reality TV show.
When Tara Jane Langston contracted coronavirus in March she thought her days were numbered and even said goodbye to her loved ones and a video of her struggling for breath in intensive care went viral.
But, after going to hell and back, the mum-of-two says she’s determined to grab life with both hands. So now Tara, 39, from Hillingdon, West London, has signed up to Channel 4’s big new reality series, The Bridge.
