She also gives her opinionated views on her favourite kind of women: "'I like ladies who look like boys."

Beth reveals she can't marry her long-standing girlfriend: "'We've just moved in together [after six years], that kind of marriage isn't legal where I live."

Ìý

On her weight: "I'm over it. I could have spent a lot of time trying to change myself, I'd rather just be in the band and do my thing and do it well. Beauty is relative."

Ìý

On playing Glastonbury: "If you can't touch that crowd you're missing out on everything, it's really spiritual, it's not scary."

On eating squirrel: "'You kill it, you eat it, people get ready for the squirrel-hunting season, you fry it like chicken."

And: "I love Hugh Grant, a pretty boy, I love that floppy hair."

Oscar winner Jamie Foxx says he's been dating Halle Berry for eight years... in his head!

On his star being added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame: "I was worried it would be next to Lassie, but I ended up next to Halle Berry and Charlize Theron – a sexy sandwich!"

Tonight's line-up also includes evergreen singing star Michael Ball in advance of his starring role, in drag, in the West End musical version of Hairspray.

Ìý

He reveals he's happy with his new slightly larger frame before taking on a role he never thought he would be offered.

Ìý

"I gave up smoking in February and you do put on weight. I'm a 46EEE... I haven't done all the shaving yet... [but] I'm the spitting image of my gran!"

Ìý

Michael says: "When I saw the show in the US I thought I'd love that role but they wouldn't dream of giving me that in the UK, I hadn't done any character roles...

Ìý

"I think this is the best musical I've ever done – fun, hip, great music and it deals with issues in a really clever, sharp way."

Ìý

He also says his recent starring role in the English National Opera's Kismet was "shocking. I was told it would be a huge, lavish extravaganza. It had great potential and it was just shocking."

Ìý

Tonight's show also features music from Swedish folk rockers Peter Bjorn & John performing their new single Young Folks live in the studio.
