“Would you ask a bloke that question? Would you ask Clive Anderson?” Yes, absolutely, if he didn’t have kids She softens slightly “If I had children, where would they go?,” she says. She then adds: “Am I frightened there will be no one there to look after me in my old age? No! I’m going to move into a great home with my friends. I ask her if she thinks she’ll ever regret this, if only fleetingly She gets cross. You start off with a big pile, then bit by bit the chips go, and the pile gets smaller and smaller until it’s time to move on.”Did I?”YES!”Can’t remember.”She has never had children.

Does she find it hard to not have a man?”No.”You once said relationships were like gambling chips. “I joined the Young Conservative Quiz Team when I was a kid, not because I was ever a Young Conservative, but because I wanted to do the quizzes and win So, always ambitious, yes. Eventually, she may even have become ambitious beyond her abilities.Certainly, she never seems to have been without a bloke I had even read that she first became engaged at 14. True?”I can’t remember.” Certainly, when there haven’t been husbands, there have been lovers Musicians Style people A rap artist called Normski or Sidski or something. The moment she started to lose, she took all the letters and threw them, cursing, in the sea. This seems to connect with her childhood and, before she knows it, she is remembering something almost interesting.

She got 11 O-levels and four A-levels.She has always been terrifically ambitious. This only comes out when, for some reason, we get onto our mutual love of Scrabble She adores it, but is a horrible loser Once, she was playing with someone on the beach. She grew up in Fulham, until, in her early teens, her parents moved to the suburb that is Perivale She was a model pupil. I can’t remember.”She was born Janet Bull (She has kept the name of her first husband, the photographer Tim Street-Porter) Her mother, Cherrie, was a school dinner lady Her dad, Stan, was an electrician. I’m not telling you.” She is beginning to get on my nerves now, so I persist. Did it hurt when you tried to flog off your old clothes at Christies, and no one bought them? “Nah. I only did it so I could have double glazing in the bedroom.” Did it hurt when Kelvin Mackenzie was editor of the Sun, and he published a picture of you next to a horse, and asked readers to vote on who was the uglier?”Can’t remember.”Janet, do you ever cry?”Yes.”When was the last time?”When my dad died I think.
