THEY SAID WHAT?

“If anyone says fame is a bad thing, I don’t know what they are talking about because it’s the best thing in the world”

– TV mogul Simon Cowell.

“The Government would be wrong to be fearful of Britain enjoying an independent future. Theresa May’s Chequers proposals would shackle us to the EU forever. We would be out of Europe yet still run by Europe. This is why the Prime Minister should ‘chuck Chequers”’

– Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg.

“Very quickly people will see that this is not Project Fear but Project Reality – this is complete madness” – Labour MP Chuka Umunna on the prospect of a no-deal Bexit.

“The corset is so stifling. You are strapped in first thing in the morning and then you are on set for 13, 14 hours. It restricts your appetite as well. I lost so much weight. Women had to wear so many bits and bobs. So much faff which all seems redundant”

– Olivia Cooke, above, who stars in a TV version of Thackeray’s

Victorian novel Vanity Fair.

“I feel like some sort of gladiator sent to fight out on his own against some lions”

– Actor Keith Allen, whose offerings on Celebrity MasterChef have been likened to school dinners.

“I did coke and it was all over for like, four years. It just snagged my soul. It kills your soul”

– Former Cheers star Kirstie Alley, who has now quit drugs.

“People are starting to go on about my weight but I’m not going to change my size because they don’t like the way I look” - Singer Adele.
