Sigourney Weaver has attempted to use her star status to evade a parking fine whilst on holiday in England.

The 55-year-old ALIEN actress offered vehicle clampers autographs in return for unclamping her FIAT car which was parked in a loading area in Colchester, Essex, where she was meeting a friend for a shopping trip.

When the clampers declined the exchange - Weaver paid the $171 (GBP95) release fee with her pal's credit card.

IMPACT SECURITY SERVICES' TONY FITHON says, "We could not take the autographs because we act as bailiffs for the landlord.

"She did not get any star treatment."
