Tomorrow (Tuesday 15 February) sees the character Heather Trott, played by Cheryl Fergison, face a potential tragedy. Unable to afford to service her boiler on a regular basis, she becomes unconscious, resulting in carbon monoxide (CO) exposure.

"CO is extremely dangerous especially if people do not understand the risks of an unsafe boiler".

CORGI said that the number of CO-related incidents this year are up on the same time last year. "The cold winter or economy could be to blame for this but it is paramount that safety is put first and regular safety checks are performed on a person’s boiler by a competent Gas Safe registered engineer."
