JAN LEEMING

says she can’t bear to watch the news any more because of the arm-waving and histrionics of her successors.

However, the ex-newsreader and The Real Exotic Marigold Hotel star is not above indulging in a bit of melodrama herself. Leeming, 75, has blamed the hurricane season in the Caribbean on the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in a series of bizarre tweets.

‘There’s been global warming since time immemorial — can’t help wondering if action in N.Korea is exacerbating/accelerating global phenomena,’ she said in response to a BBC news bulletin about hurricane Irma making landfall in Florida.

‘Earthquakes on ocean’s floor create tsunamis — where are N. Korea’s missiles exploding? They’ve got to be affecting the weather don’t you think.’

Leeming has been married five times. Has she now become divorced from reality?
