You won’t BELIEVE what they tell me!

My phone went off when we were filming Question Time recently. It was my bedtime alarm. The BBC love that kind of thing.

David Dimbleby admits the years are catching up with him when we met at the Quintessentially Foundation and Dimbleby Cancer Care annual charity quiz. How do I keep my mind active? I learn a word a day, like anatidaephobia. It is the irrational fear of being stared at by a duck. Dame Judi Dench may be 82 but she’s still firing on all cylinders. Anyone falling over makes me laugh. If my husband gets a slap to the crotch when one of our kids runs into him, it’s hilarious. That’s awful of me, isn’t it? Actress Olivia Colman, right, tells me that slapstick is her preferred kind of comedy – even if it means her husband Ed Sinclair taking a hit. My piano playing is going all right. I am supposed to be getting better at it but I am flatlining. I wish I was good. Benedict Cumberbatch reveals to me that there is something he isn’t good at – at last! The idea of making vows before God scared me. I was terrified the night before and it nearly put me off.

Russell Brand confesses to getting cold feet before marrying Laura Gallagher. They’re making another Kingsman f ilm but I think it should be called Invasion Of The Flying Turds. I could play one of the flying turds. It is a perfect role for me.

Elton John enjoyed being in the second Kingsman film so much he’s got plans for the third one...
