VIDEO: Businesswoman Melanie helps save life by remembering Vinnie’s advice
Melanie Peters, managing director of Best of Worthing, was staying with friend Michael O’Brien last Saturday, when his father, Tony, 76, turned blue and started to gargle.
Realising he had stopped breathing, the pair quickly administered CPR and phoned 999, before paramedics stepped in.

“It was all a bit of a blur.”
Melanie learnt how to do CPR after watching the British Heart Foundation video, starring Vinnie Jones.
