On her relationship with Jack Nicholson she says: "One day I turned up on the set [of Chinatown] and my father [who was directing] asked Jack 'are you sleeping with my daughter?' It was a moment of horror for me."

"[Jack] was a hard person to have acting ambitions around, sometimes I coped really badly with that. At film festivals like Cannes, girls would come up to him – and he would go. I would generally cry, take to my bed for several days – you have to pretend to look like it doesn't really matter. You can't expect to be with one of the world's sexiest men and for that not to happen."

On her father, John Huston: "He didn't want me to be in the business. I pestered him and finally he put me in a movie when I was 17. It was a disaster, we hated each other, but we overcame it."

Jonathan also welcomes to the show veteran entertainer Rolf Harris who says he ended up in television by accident.

"I wanted to be a portrait painter like my grandfather, but I ran out of money so I got a job in children's TV. I'd have starved if I didn't do the showbiz thing."

He also gives his views on modern British art: "Damien Hirst is a very fine painter. Tracey Emin is a fine artist. But I can't see the point of the unmade bed."

On painting the Queen: "You've got to have a likeness but I said to her I'd like to have a photographic reference. I asked to turn to the camera and imagine her favourite grandson had just walked in, and give me a smile of greeting."

And his success with Animal Hospital: "That was the first time I had the courage to show my feelings on television, in my mid-sixties."

Tonight's ine-up also includes McFly talking about their debut movie Just My Luck, and there's music from Razorlight performing live in the studio.
