Chucked off ITV’s Loose Women show recently for calling Russell Crowe “a fucking shit” – she didn’t realise it was going out live – the 75-year-old’s career dates back to the ‘60s and has seen her share a stage with everyone from Johnny Carson and Oprah Winfrey to Cher and ICE-T.

“Lemme get this straight,” she said afterwards in response to the media kerfuffle. “Bin Laden's top man has been released. The price of petrol is through the roof. There's inflation, depression. And people are hysterical because I said ‘fuck’?

"I was having a great time and everybody was laughing. Then these people – these idiots – came running onto the set and ripped me off my seat and dragged me off. They were saying 'Let's go, let's go, let's go'. I thought I was being arrested.

"At my age I should be able to say what the hell I want. I think saying, 'Go fuck yourself' is a very pleasant way of saying good morning to someone you don't like. So I want to say to everyone that Loose Women was an honest mistake because I truly thought I'd be bleeped. Now. Get. Over. It!"
