Sienna poppy storm

EXCLUSIVE: Star ‘disrespect’ row

SIENNA Miller has been blasted for failing to wear a poppy on Graham Norton’s BBC chat show.

The actress, 33, was a guest with Burnt co-star Bradley Cooper who did display the red flower of remembrance.

Norton, Dame Maggie Smith and Alex Jennings also paid respects on their lapels. Twitter fans slammed Miller and the Beeb over Friday’s show.

TheShowOff85 said: “Why is Sienna Miller not wearing a Poppy? Has she refused? If yes why is she allowed on the show? Disrespectful cow.”

Tory former defence minister Sir Gerald Howarth stormed: “There should be no excuse for not wearing one so we can honour the war dead.”

The BBC said guests decide whether to wear one. A source close to Sienna said: “She was wearing the poppy pin but it was taken off as she went on air as it was pulling on the clothes.”
