Dame Joan Collins was having none of it when The One Show's Alex Jones suggested she should catch a Taylor Swift concert. The screen legend graced the BBC 's The One Show on Friday, captivating everyone with tales from her illustrious life while seated alongside hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kemp. With guests Adeel Akhtar and Chesney Hawkes also present, Joan's presence left the studio audience spellbound.
Yet, when the conversation turned to modern icons, Joan placed Taylor as her top choice, saying: "Taylor Swift is a great example to young people! I like the way she dresses, I like her attitude towards life and I suppose she's an icon. But I've never seen her." Alex Jones eagerly interjected: "Oh! You must go, you'll have a great time.
" However, Joan swiftly dismissed the idea, questioning: "Where? Where am I gonna go? Do you think I'm gonna go to one of those arenas, sorry!" Her apology was quickly followed by laughter, reports Wales Online. Alex, finding humour in Joan's response, quipped that Taylor would likely fly out to perform for her personally, a sentiment Roman echoed. Not only were Joan's anecdotes a hit, but fans were also abuzz on social media platforms about how fabulous the 91-year-old star looked, with many taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their admiration.
One fan exclaimed, "Ninety-one. Ninety flamin' one! Joan Collins is a legend. Still switched on and very interesting.
What a life she's led. The positive side of living to a ripe old age.".
