The singer/actress was invited to the aftershow party in Soho and her act was pure Jones. One eyewitness described her look as that of a “Smurf gone wrong”. Some suggested that next time the diva gets dressed she should take off the dark glasses first. Then she performed her trademark slap – the one that decked chat show host Russell Harty – not just once, but repeatedly. This time, the target of her affectionate punching was a young photographer.

After hitting the paparazzo with her customary vim and vigour, she gave him a kiss and a cuddle. Then she pulled out a middle finger and waved it around – no doubt testing wind direction and speed – before appearing to delve into her blouse and threatening to display her left breast.
