Remember her? Dame Joan Collins who became internationally famous with her role as character Alexis Carrington on the 1980s classic Dynasty?

She is a Trump lover.

"I based Alexis on ‘a businessman like Donald Trump,’ she says, describing her most iconic character, the ice queen of the Colbys in the gloriously over-the-top soap Dynasty.

‘She was tough and uncompromising, using her sexuality to manipulate people. I met Donald with [his former wife] Ivana, who is still a very good friend of mine. And he was a very good-looking guy.’"


Miss Collins said that she was not particularly political and since backing UKIP she had "got to know a bit more" about their policies which she felt were "quite reasonable".

"This was four months ago and, to be quite frank, I have not been concentrating on British politics," she added.

"But you know what, I really don't want to get into politics."

She said: "I don't know why everyone is so fascinated with me and Ukip. I was always going on about how much I loved Maggie Thatcher. I don't remember that causing much of an outcry.

"I was a huge Thatcherite and nobody seemed to give a damn, so why all of a sudden this whole thing with UKIP? It doesn't make any sense to me."
