Love Actually star Joanna Page has admitted she’s only watched the star-studded film ‘once’ and it left her ‘utterly traumatised’.
The 45-year-old starred alongside the likes of Hugh Grant, Martin Freeman, Dame Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson and Keira Knightley when the film hit our screens back in 2003.
But despite quickly becoming a Christmas classic, Joanna admitted she’s only watched it once, and not even at the premiere.
Joanna played Judy in nude scenes in the film, in which she was an actress filming X-rated scenes with Martin’s John.
Appearing on Loose Women today, the Gavin and Stacey star said: ‘I’ve only ever seen it once.’
‘For the premiere, I was working so I couldn’t make it so I didn’t see it then,’ Joanna began, explaining that she introduced the film and watched it for the first time at the Cardiff Film Festival.
‘So I got up, introduced it, sat down in the front row, next to my then boyfriend and my parents, and then watched the film.
‘And it was utterly traumatic!’
She continued: ‘Because I don’t like watching myself at the best of times, and then also I don’t particularly like watching myself naked on cinema screens, so it was really, really weird.’
‘But I’ve only ever seen it that one time,’ Joanna continued.
‘Aside from sometimes, at Christmas time you catch snippets and bits on the telly, and it’s those bits i see, but I never know if I’m in it then or not.
‘Because if it’s on in the afternoon I’m like, well, was I in that one or was I not in that one, because they’ve sometimes got to censor it.’
Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm.
