Alison Steadman sings karaoke to relax when her shooting schedule stresses her out.

The 67-year-old actress - who can currently be seen in BBC One comedy 'Boomers' - likes to sing along to her favourite Adele and Susan Boyle songs when she's had enough on set.

Luckily, her 36-year-old son Toby bought her a home karaoke machine so she can warble on the mic whenever the feeling takes her.

She said: "My son Toby bought me a karaoke machine and if I get really stressed I put it on and sing Adele, Susan Boyle and Nina Simone - basically any song my voice can cope with. It's really fun."

Alison is enjoying still being busy in her career as she approaches 70 but admits hitting 60 was a lot harder for her than when she reached 50.

Speaking to Closer magazine, she said: "Turning 50 wasn't a big deal for me, but being 60 was a bit more difficult! I'm so forgetful, I recently lost my glasses and there they were in the fridge, all frosted up - ridiculous."
