A nursery worker faces the prospect of losing her job after being spotted on TV by her bosses holding a giant Tunnock’s tea cake during the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony held at the Celtic Park, Glasgow, Scotland- while on sick leave.
Amy McIntosh (25) is understood to have been off work with tonsillitis for several weeks prior to the opening ceremony but had attended the rehearsals which began at the start of the month.
Erskine-born McIntosh admitted she was off sick at the time of the ceremony but said she has been “signed off” by a doctor and has been referred to a hospital.
However, McIntosh’s friends praised her on Facebook , with one saying that she was ‘shining bright like the star that you are’.
