It's a beautiful day and I've got a beautiful guest.

Cue the music and welcome to Rosebud, and it's Rosebud with a difference. It's Rosebud on the road. We're leaving the comfort of the Grovenor House Hotel in Park Lane and going to Kingston.

Yes, Kingston, to the Rose Theatre, where on stage I'm meeting an old friend who has been

a household name since the 1960s. Indeed, she was acclaimed as the face of 1966.

She became internationally famous as a teenager. She was, she is, Twiggy. You can meet her now on stage.

Cue the music and then the applause. Oh, can I say you are so beautiful.

One is actually allowed to say that sort of thing in today's world,

you know. What do you like being called? I mean your real name is Leslie, isn't it?

Yeah, I was christened Leslie. Do you like being called Leslie or are you happy to be called

Twigley? What do you prefer? I've only kind of three people in the world call me, well

four. My husband sometimes calls melie but usually twigs or darling my two

sisters call me leslie they're two older sisters and my stepson lee's son ace calls me

leslie because when we met he was eight and so we thought if you know we were out and we

in a shop or something and he'd lost me and he said I don't twiggy twiggy so I was Leslie to

him and he still calls me Leslie and what are you most comfortable in your dreams who are

you if somebody in the street calls Leslie I don't even react weird isn't it whereas if my

sister's called me twiggy I'd be really weird yeah so do I call you twiggy or twigs

or very close friends call me twigs I go okay fine so you can

thank you well well dame Leslie it's very nice to be here this afternoon.

If you're very good, you can call me twigs.

I'm going to call you Twiggs.

Anyway, I mustn't get too excited.
