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: The Russian plane that has sat at Swiss airport since start of Ukraine war | News World
An Aeroflot A321, named after Russian soprano Galina Vishnevskaya, has been parked at Geneva airport since February 2022 due to sanctions barring Russian airlines from European airspace. The aircraft, coded VP-BOE, is reported to be in poor condition after over four years of exposure without the ability to return to Moscow.
The Aeroflot A321, which has been idle at Geneva Airport since February 27, 2022, has accumulated approximately £1.4 million in parking and ground handling charges. The aircraft, leased from GTLK, is unlikely to return to service due to the Russian state carrier’s inability to procure necessary parts amid ongoing sanctions.
The Aeroflot A321, named after Galina Vishnevskaya, has remained at Geneva airport since February 2022 due to sanctions that prohibit Russian aircraft from operating in European airspace, resulting in approximately £1.4 million in parking charges. With the aircraft in deteriorating condition and parts unobtainable due to ongoing restrictions, the likelihood of its recovery by Aeroflot is minimal, as confirmed by reports detailing the challenges faced by Russian airlines in sourcing necessary components.
What remains unclear — It is uncertain whether the aircraft is currently fuelled and catered or if its food supplies have spoiled.

On the tarmac at Geneva airport, one particular plane has been stood idle for slightly longer than your average turnaround.
The Aeroflot A321, named after Russian soprano Galina Vishnevskaya, has been parked at the Swiss gateway since 2022.
The Airbus aircraft coded VP-BOE, belonging to the Russian flag carrier was due to return home when sanctions banning the airline from European airspace prevented it from leaving.
Now the aircraft is thought to be in a poor condition, having been left exposed to the elements for more than four years, Simply Flying reported.
VP-BOE landed in Switzerland on February 27, 2022, days after Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine.
The following day, the Switzerland followed EU countries in banning all Russian aircraft from landing or taking off from its airports, leaving the Aeroflot plane stranded.

Not only has it been out of service for all of this time, the aircraft has racked up around £1.4 million in parking and ground handling charges.
It is unclear whether the aircraft remains fuelled and catered, with any food onboard certainly rotten and highly likely to attract pests and insects.
To further complicate matters, while the aircraft was operated by Aeroflot, it did so under a lease agreement with GTLK or the State Transport Leasing Company.
This was through one of GTLK’s Irish subsidiaries which, following a high court order in 2023, are in the process of being wound up.
With assets valued at €4 billion, the process is the largest of its kind in Ireland, the Irish Independent reported.
The aircraft’s deteriorating state means it is unlikely to be reclaimed by the Russian state carrier, given that it is unable to acquire parts necessary to bring the plane back into service.
Russian airlines are currently banned from sourcing parts from major manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing.
However several are acquiring parts through the grey market. In August, a Florida court found a former Aeroflot employee used fake labels to ship nearly $1million worth of American parts to the airline.
Since the start of the war, several Russian assets have found themselves held in foreign nations following the imposition of sanctions against the Kremlin.
A heavy cargo plane operated by Volga-Dnepr Airlines was seized by Canadian authorities after being stuck at Toronto Pearson airport.
Last month a court rejected an appeal application from the airline, leaving the huge Antonov AN-124 in limbo.

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.
