She said: “A paramedic walked into the room who was about 17 and said ‘What’s our name?’ So I said ‘Judi, and he said ‘Have we got a carer?’

“And I’m afraid I completely blew my top. I said ‘You f*** off!

“Cause she’d sorted it out. Then she said, ‘Have you, Jude?’ and you said ‘No I have not.’ and she said ‘Why?’ ‘Cause I’m not going to die.’ ”

In 2012 Judi revealed an eye condition means she can no longer read scripts.

Instead she relies on her daughter, agent or pals to read them to her, adding: “I like that, because I sit there and imagine the story.”
