EMILY PRESCOTT: The Serpent star Ellie Bamber cannot bear to watch herself act as its so ‘harrowing’

Others may laud her performances, but actress Ellie Bamber can’t comment on the TV shows she has starred in… because she can hardly bear to watch them. 

Ellie, 25, star of The Serpent and The Trial Of Christine Keeler, says: ‘I don’t love watching myself.’ She adds that she was sent a screening link to her new film, The Seven Sorrows Of Mary, but hasn’t watched it because it is so harrowing. 

‘I watched some of Christine Keeler,’ she says. 

‘I didn’t see the last few episodes. Oh god… I watched some of The Serpent. I didn’t watch all of it.’ 

Quite the review!

He wrote the script for hit movie Gosford Park but Julian Fellowes wasn’t popular on set, it seems. 

His author niece Jessica, whose Mitford Murders series could soon be turned into a TV show, recalls how Julian had a role as ‘historical adviser’ on the film but was so keen to have things spot-on that he corrected every error cast and crew made – leaving them groaning out loud.

It was then that Elle discovered she was not at The Goring but The Gore hotel in Kensington instead. 

She says: ‘I had to get a taxi out of there and ended up at The Goring. But I actually missed the Shetland pony.’

His character Mr Bean once added his own touches to a priceless painting by Whistler during his movie adventures, so I wonder if Rowan Atkinson is allowed anywhere near his daughter Lily’s paintings?

Lily, 27, who describes herself as ‘self-taught’, paints in acrylic and her canvases are often adorned with naked bodies. 

She recently launched her work online. It’s a change of direction from her previous work – she enjoyed a cameo in a Johnny English film that starred her father as a hapless spy.

It may not be Palace etiquette to talk about money, but I have to report that King Charles has made more than £1 million by selling 18 of his late mother’s brood mares at auction. 

There has been speculation that the Royal Stud at Sandringham, where racehorses are bred, might become something of a museum as Charles does not share his mother’s passion for breeding racehorses. 

So much for the sport of kings!
