You won’t BELIEVE what they tell me!

When I was ten, at school, we all lay on the floor and took our knickers off to see who had the largest bottom and someone said, ‘Definitely Jilly’s.’ Jilly Cooper tells me more than I really needed to know about the pranks of her schooldays.

I bought them because they gave me the opportunit­y to wiggle them about like Eric Morecambe. I always think my glasses look better than I do. Bill Nighy talking to me at the private view of Nicole Farhi’s The Human Hand exhibition about the black Cutler and Gross glasses that give him his signature look.

The kiss with Leo was very peppermint­y. And of course he did not put his tongue in my mouth. Joanna Lumley, right, lets me in on how fragrant Leonardo DiCaprio behaved like the perfect gentleman when they shared a moment of passion while filming The Wolf Of Wall Street.

I have this vision of the Queen eating my cake in slippers while watching Coronation Street. Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain reveals that the top tier of the cake she made for the Queen’s 90th birthday celebratio­n was boxed up and sent to the Palace.

I met Salvador Dali in a lift and he had an umbrella with a propeller on it – on the blades were pictures of his mother and sister-in-law. He switched on a button and they spun round. David Bailey tells me about his surreal encounter with the great artist when we meet at the Royal Academy of Art.

How long is it till we get going? You know I have to keep moving because of my legs. Vanessa Redgrave admits to me that she is getting a bit old at 79 for protest marches, while waiting for the Refugees Welcome demo to start in London yesterday.
