"I like him very much - he's a lovely man," she says. "What I like about Gerard is his feminine side, and he likes the masculine side in me."

She talks about the drawbacks of being a great beauty: "It can be a frustration because people expect you to be beautiful and more than that, so you're always on the edge of thinking you're going to disappoint them."

Of her current movie hero, Quentin Tarantino, she says: "I think he's a very talented director. If he asked me [to work with him] I would say yes, but I'm not sure if he's keen to use women in his films."

Jonathan is also joined by the UK's hottest comedienne, Catherine Tate, who reveals: "I was asked to do I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. I thought 'Sh*t, I thought things were going quite well!' Obviously, the reason I can't do it is that I'm too sensitive to the sun."

Discussing the inspiration behind her comedic creations, she says: "The woman who screams at everything. that's my mum: [she behaves] as if she's never lived in modern society."

She says that her partner doesn't really follow her career: "I don't discuss it much at home. He knows what I do, but I'm quite reticent about it. I always say to him, 'Don't ask me questions, because you won't like the answers!'"

And Jonathan gets a dance lesson from Latino superstar and Unicef ambassador Ricky Martin, back with his first English language album after five years: "I went back home for a little while, built a studio, started my foundation [People for Children]."

He talks about what he loves about music, and how he handles fame: "We work for the acceptance of the audience and the applause; it's so addictive.
