Liz Hurley has fallen victim to luxury luggage-loving thieves who got into her car, she fears, by copying the code from her wireless key fob.

It happened when Liz, 54, parked at a motorway service station. She told a podcast: ‘I have a keyless car.

‘When you come out of it and lock it, they can pick up the signal of your transmitter. I parked at one of those big service stations with a food court and went inside.

‘I came back, drove home and noticed someone had stolen my hand luggage.

‘That is a horror. I felt I had been pillaged really badly.’

Poor Liz, but the big question for me is, what on earth was the regal actress doing at a motorway service station?

And did she opt for KFC or Burger King?

If you spot Michael Palin in the street and quote Monty Python to him, don’t be offended if he stares back blankly at you. The 77-year-old star has admitted he can’t remember any of the lines from the famous films.

‘I’m always a bit outwitted when people come up and say something from Monty Python. I’m like, “Oh, that’s quite funny. Where did you get that from?” They go, “It’s in your film.” ’

Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith knows the secret of a happy life – two happy marriages, two great children… and two glasses of wine every night.

‘I’m afraid I’m a bit of a toper,’ admits 80-year-old Prue.

‘I don’t go a single evening without a glass of wine, in fact a good two glasses of wine. 

‘If I haven’t got a drink in my hand by seven o’clock, I start thinking, “It’s definitely time.” ’
