Dame Joanna Lumley dubbed it ‘creepy’ when fans take secret photographs of her.
The Absolutely Fabulous star, 77, is always happy to get a picture with a passer-by – as long as she knows about it.
What she can’t stand is when people film or take pictures of her without her permission.
She also has a brilliant reaction when she notices people doing just that.
‘I never mind doing photographs with people, but what I don’t like is when they steal them,’ she explained to Sky News.
‘They don’t ask, you can just see them quietly at a dinner table, going like that [gestures taking a photo] across the restaurant.

‘I walk over and say, “Shall we do a proper picture?” And they get a bit flustered and say, “Oh, I didn’t want to disturb you,” you know? But that’s creepy.’
Dame Joanna finds the constant use of cameras on phones ‘intrusive’ and said it gives her the feeling everyone is being watched to some extent nowadays.
But it’s not just fans this certified national treasure has a problem with in this respect – she doesn’t even like supermarket CCTV cameras.
‘There’s a feeling of being watched, if you’re in a room where there’s a camera – you know you’re being watched… it’s odd,’ she explained.
Dame Joanna is stars in the hit Netflix show of the moment, Fool Me Once, alongside Michelle Keegan.
The Harlan Coben thriller follows Maya Stern (Michelle) as she tries to come to terms with her husband Joe’s murder.
Enter mother-in-law Judith Burkett, who is expertly portrayed by Dame Joanna with her trademark wit and feisty character.

The thriller also stars Utopia actor Adeel Akhtar, the BBC’s His Dark Materials actress Jade Anouka, and The Hobbit trilogy star Richard Armitage.
Judith and Maya have a fractured relationship in the series, and Coronation Street star Michelle previously said it was difficult saying some of her lines to such an iconic actor as Dame Joanna.
Speaking on The One Show, Admitted admitted she dreaded having to fire expletives at Dame Joanna, as she said: ‘Honestly, when I read the script, I was like, “Oh no, oh no!”‘
‘We had a bit of a laugh, didn’t we, when we were rehearsing? I don’t think I said it when we were in rehearsals, I was like, “I can’t! I can’t!”‘
Dame Joanna admitted it was a shock, as she added: ‘When it’s not used very often, bad language comes… it slaps out of the screen at you, it does.’

Get you up to speed: Italy reports five tourist deaths in scuba diving accident in Maldives
Five tourists have died in a scuba diving accident in the Maldives, including four divers from the University of Genoa, namely Monica Montefalcone, her daughter Giorgia Sommacal, research fellow Muriel Oddenino, and marine biology graduate Federico Gualtieri. The group was exploring underwater caves in the Vaavu Atoll at a depth of around 50 metres when they failed to resurface.
Five tourists, including marine biologist Monica Montefalcone and her daughter, have died during a scuba diving accident in the Maldives, as reported by the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF). An investigation has been launched by local police, who noted that adverse weather conditions were present, with winds reaching up to 30mph in the area.
A major search operation is underway by the Maldives National Defence Force for the remaining four divers, believed to be inside an underwater cave at a depth of about 60 metres, with their identities confirmed as part of a group from the University of Genoa. Police have initiated an investigation into the tragedy, examining various hypotheses, including the adverse weather conditions reported in the area.

Five tourists have died in a scuba diving accident in the Maldives.
The group, from Italy, had been exploring underwater caves in the Vaavu Atoll at a depth of around 50 metres on Thursday.
Four of the divers were part of a team from the University of Genoa, including respected marine biologist Monica Montefalcone, 51, her daughter and two researchers.
It is believed to be the worst single diving accident the South Asian nation – popular with sightseers thanks to its vibrant coral reef system – has seen.
Italy’s foreign ministry did not give any details about the exact cause of the accident.
The five divers – named as Ms Montefalcone, her daughter Giorgia Sommacal, 20, research fellow Muriel Oddenino, marine biology graduate Federico Gualtieri, and boat operations manager and diving instructor Gianluca Benedetti – entered the water on Thursday morning, local reports said.

Her daughter Giorgia Sommacal also died in the tragedy
A major search was launched, including aircraft and speedboats, the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) said in a statement.
‘One body has been found among five divers who went diving in Vaavu Atoll,’ the agency added.
‘The body was found inside a cave. It is believed that the remaining four divers are also inside the same cave, which extends to a depth of about 60 metres.’
Authorities have not disclosed the identity of the diver whose body was recovered.
Rescue teams will resume their search for the remaining bodies today.
Police have launched an investigation into the tragedy, with several hypotheses to examine.
They said weather was rough in the area.
Winds were blowing at up to 30mph and a yellow warning had been issued for passenger boats and fishermen.

The fact none of the four divers resurfaced suggested they may have become lost in an underwater cave, Italian newspaper La Repubblica reports.
Another possibility suggested was that one of the four got stuck and the others ran out of air while trying to free them.
The Maldives is one of the world’s most popular diving destinations, with the Vaavu Atoll famous for night diving and channel diving.
Local regulations permit diving to a maximum depth of 30 metres, but experienced professionals are known to go deeper.
Diving and snorkelling accidents are relatively rare in the tiny Indian Ocean nation, although several fatalities have been reported in recent years.
Last December, an experienced British female tourist drowned in a scuba incident off the island resort of Ellaidhoo. Her 71-year-old husband died days later after falling ill.
A 26-year-old Japanese tourist went missing after a diving expedition near the capital Malé in June.

To have to pull out of an Olympics on the eve of being set to compete is not a nice thing to have to do, but I’m back and setting my sights on the future.
I took a holiday and am beginning to move on after my hamstring injury denied me the chance to run in Paris and go for a first Olympic medal. It’s not been an easy time, for sure.
My girlfriend and I went to Sardinia for a break after I had to admit defeat and pull out of the 800metres but the Olympics was inescapable. It was on in all the bars and naturally you get invested in the sport you’re watching.
It is not an easy thing to avoid! But both of us really got into it. It looked like a class Games and I wanted to know how people were getting on and watched the 800m. What an event. The final looked tough.
In the 1500m, I was surprised by Cole Hocker’s victory but the American always had a chance of gold as he is a quick finisher.
On form, it looked like Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s to lose at the bell and that was also true until 100m to go. But you can never underestimate the quality of the athletes behind. It was insane to see four people sprinting in a race that was so quick and in which Josh Kerr ran a British record.
I’m really pleased for Josh and what he achieved in Paris, and look forward to sharing the track with him again soon.
Not being able to compete was sad for me, the cruellest of ways for my journey to Paris to end. I’d been through a lot over the past couple of years and the calf injury I’d had before the British trials had to be handled carefully.
What I decided to do was a three-week crash course of training in St Moritz. I still felt competing could be a risk but it was one I was prepared to take.
Training for the 800 is really hard on the body but I’d just had one of the best sessions I’ve ever had, only for my glute to tighten in the last 200m.
I had a scan the next day and my doctor asked me to do a Zoom call with him at 6pm the same day. I knew it could be the worst news. There were no pleasantries, no small talk like usual, just straight down to business. It became pretty clear I wouldn’t be racing at the Olympics.

I knew I was in shape for what I wanted to do so that part doesn’t hurt, I just struggled to keep my body together. When it lets you down it’s easier to process in some ways. I didn’t miss the Games because I wasn’t good enough.
So what next? I’ve now had time to re-evaluate and at 30 my priority has to be medical support so I am relocating to Manchester in a bid to squeeze as much as I can out of my remaining years in the sport.
I feel I need to be closer to my physio there because I can’t have a third straight year like this in 2025 with a world championships in a year’s time.
I’ve decided I will aim to be at the LA Olympics in 2028 but I will take it year by year. I know it would be very difficult to come back if I had another big injury.
Now it’s about proving I can still do it and I want to do another Olympic cycle.
Now it’s about proving I can still do it and I want to do another Olympic cycle. Our only athletics gold in Paris came from Keely Hodgkinson, who is based in Manchester, and every physio I’ve ever had is up there so something has been telling me it’s time for a change.
I’ll still be coached by my Dad Geoff despite the move and I know we’ll make it work.
I fully intend to return to the level I know I can compete at over the coming months and be competitive and give myself a shot at Los Angeles. It’s time to move on.
