STREEP: 'MAMMA MIA! SPLITS WERE REAL'

Actress MERYL STREEP has denied rumours she used a body double in new movie MAMMA MIA! - insisting she performed the "splits" for real.
In one scene the star is seen bouncing on a bed before flinging her legs out in midair to perform the notoriously tricky manoeuvre.
But Streep, 59, insists that she didn't need any help.
She says, "They ask - was there a body double? Yeah, right! Or was it CGI? Of course! They grafted my face onto (Olympic gymnast) Olga Korbut's body!
"I just did the splits on instinct. That's what always happens with my acting."
