MILLIONS of self-employed workers will be hit with a £150 tax whammy under a fresh raid snuck out by the Chancellor today.

Philip Hammond announced he was scrapping the Government’s pledge to abolish Class 2 National Insurance contributions to raise an extra £435 million for the NHS.

It will deprive 3.4million self-employed workers of £150 a year.

The former Chancellor George Osborne promised the tax cut in his last Budget in 2016.

The tax cut was supposed to take effect in April this year but Mr Hammond delayed it by 12 months – before today delivering the final blow by scrapping it altogether.

Although more than three million were set to benefit from the tax cut, there were fears that the move would hit the 2 per cent of self-employed workers who earn between £6,025 and £8,164 a year and would face paying higher National Insurance bills after the move.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
