He says: "I thought who would be my role model... I thought
Camilla, that's my girl, she's fantastic, I love her... we're hoping to
have a Royal premiere."

Miriam adds: "I've met her... she's a
cracker, a laugh. I get p***ed off when people are nasty about her."

Rupert also reveals how much he enjoyed his cross-dressing
performance.

He says: "It's fun. The breasts are very heavy... even in court
shoes, something goes wrong with your back. I've put my back out as a
woman... my breasts hide under my arms, marvellous. I'll probably be the
next Danny La Rue!"

Miriam Margolyes – who counts animated hits Babe, Happy Feet and Flushed
Away among her past credits – reveals that before she became one of the country's most celebrated character actresses she
also voiced another genre, porn.

She explains: "It was called Sexy Sonia. I did it for
the money. I went to Ann Summers to see how it was selling. They told me
'shh, we don't want people to know it's you' and asked me to leave!"

Also on tonight's show, OAP pop band The Zimmers perform their single My Generation.
