She continued: ‘My cousin and my brother both agreed that daddy would have loved Larry. He was decent person, intelligent, hard working. When I was 27 or 28, I had a roaring affair with Larry Lamb…
‘Larry is a great guy, he was gorgeous and is still good looking. He has impeccable manners. The fact he didn’t come from our world is neither here nor there. Larry, I used to say, is one of nature’s aristocrats’.
Back in 2016, Lady C revealed that she called an end to her romance with Larry after she realised he wanted to get married.
Divulging details, she said: ‘Larry and I had a small romance in 1978 and I was about 28 and he was about 30 or 29. I think he’s a year or two older than me so he was at the peak of his masculinity. He is gorgeous. I can’t sing his praises highly enough.’
Revealing how their romance came to be, she added: ‘We met at the opening of the Ritz casino and he saw me across the room … As soon as I caught his eye, he caught mine more accurately, he came over and didn’t let go.’
However, the blonde star wasn’t prepared to jump into bed with him straight away and made him wait until she returned from her trip to Jamaica before they did the deed.
The Jamacian aristocrat previously said of their affair: ‘He was very appealing and gloriously attractive. Pumping testosterone in all directions… Larry was absolutely rampant, he was a very naughty boy’
‘I absolutely [didn’t go home with him that night],’ she dished. ‘I believe in letting a man wait. Larry is lovely and he’s very intelligent and very focused. He is one of natures true gentleman.’
Although she was enjoying the pᴀssionate romance, Lady C decided to call time on their relationship shortly afterwards because she realised Larry wanted to get married.
She explained: ‘You know what men are like when they want to get married, they want to get married. I realised that wonderful as Larry was, I didn’t think we were going to make it in the long haul.’
But the pair have remained friends and the former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star even dished out a few tips to actor ahead of his stint in the jungle in 2016, although he failed to reply to her email and text message.
She explained: ‘I converted him – and he was a willing convert – into a great, great, friend. And we were great, great, friends for years after.’

Lady C reached out to Larry through text and email but he didn’t respond
The conversation took a darker turn later in the show as she discussed her fractured relationship with her mother, Gloria.
She explained: ‘My mother became a big problem… She was a complete narcissist. When I broke free her narcissisticness came out and it was tough to get out.’
However, she revealed that after going to therapy at the age of 32 she found a way to move on from her heartache.
‘Once you realise you’re carrying around lots of pain, I think go to therapy so you release yourself. You don’t want to be a problem bore, poor me.’
Lady C continued: ‘[My mother was a witch with a b. [Speaking to] my therapist – I used to feel guilty – she said every woman needs to get in touch with her inner w with a b (b***h).’
