Hollywood legend Dame Joan Collins didn’t mince her words while appearing on The One Show as she put a stop to Alex Jones’ proposition of going to a Taylor Swift concert

Dame Joan Collins quickly shut down a suggestion made by The One Show presenter Alex Jones as she attempted to encourage her to see Taylor Swift live.

The legendary icon appeared on Friday’s edition of the popular evening show with hosts Alex and Roman Kemp at the helm. Sharing snippets of her extraordinary life on the famous red sofa, Joan left everyone in the studio awestruck including guests Adeel Akhtar and Chesney Hawkes.

But when asked which famous person would be considered a modern-day icon, Joan was quick to praise singer Taylor. She admitted: “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 chimed in and said: “Oh! You must go, you’ll have a great time.”

Finding the funny side to Joan’s remarks, Alex said Taylor would be happy to fly to her personally to perform. Roman also backed up his co-host and agreed.

As well as Joan’s personal stories, fans at home were impressed with how well the 91-year-old star looked. Heading over to X formerly known as Twitter, viewers were swooning.

Another penned: “Yes Joan. You’re amazing. Class and elegance.”

A third viewer gushed: “Joan always looks amazing! Always beautifully dressed.” A fourth added: “Joan Collins is 91? She looks amazing!”
