You won’t BELIEVE what they tell me!

I have no inhibitions. There is a new sexy club in Soho which has a naked night and I am totally up for it! Gok Wan confesses to me that he’s wild when he wants to be.

I have a rescue terrier called Madge who is vile. She allows me to avoid fans on the street – I tell them they have to keep away because the dog isn’t friendly. Graham Norton tells me at a performance of The Boys In The Band that he hides behind his tiny pooch.

I don’t want to come across as mawkish and self-pitying, but Downing Street was so demanding. It was unsustainable and I felt I was barely able to catch my breath. But I eventually smoked less, did more exercise and sorted myself out. Nick Clegg reveals to me at the Cheltenham Literature festival that he was living on the edge during his time in Government.

I do find I have been losing my memory lately. My grandchildren say that I have got ‘Alka-Seltzer’s’. Novelist Jilly Cooper, 79, finds humour even in the problems of ageing.

Mills and Boon is not particularly erotic and Heathcliff is a bit of a bore. I prefer Anais Nin. Delta Of Venus, set in the louche opium dens of Paris where people did unspeakable things, had a much bigger impact on me. Mariella Frostrup lets me in on her bedtime reading preferences…

I’m voting Trump because I know he’d never say anything to embarrass me as a loyal fan. Ricky Gervais’ sarcastic comment after THAT Trump video leaked last week.
