underwear

she
went
'commando'
when

in
The
Queen
on
Sunday.
Helen,
who
was
speaking
about
her
customised
Christian
Lacroix
gown,
told
US
chat
show
host
Oprah
Winfrey:
"It
was
all
made
for
me
so
I
didn't
have
to
have
any
underwear." Grasping
her
breasts
to
illustrate
her
point,
she
added:
"It
fitted
me
like
two
angel's
hands.
I
cried
when
I
put
it
on,
it
is
a
work
of
art."

Clutching her statuette at Heathrow Airport, she spent 20 minutes posing for photographs and signing autographs. She said: "I have had the most incredible welcome to my country. It's very, very sweet." Meanwhile, Helen insists she would be too nervous to meet the real Queen Elizabeth. It was reported Buckingham Palace were keen to organise a meeting between the pair, but the actress has refused the offer.Helen told Britain's Hello magazine: "I have thought about that. What would I do? I don't think I could handle that. I mean, what do you say?"
