Her get-up and behaviour even overshadowed aspiring actress daughter Afton, 17, at the launch of Rise of The Footsoldier 3: The Pat Tate Story.

In a desperate bid for attention, Gillian lingered for the cameras while the 97min film was shown.

By contrast, the film’s stars, including former EastEnder Craig Fairbrass, and celebrity guests such as DIY SOS host Nick Knowles, kept their appearances brief.

A source at London’s Leicester Square said: “Gillian was very keen to be photographed with the right people. She was getting all the photographers to take her and Afton’s pictures. She was acting like she was Tom Cruise.”
