Liz Hurley: I took inspiration from Joan Collins

Maybe Joan Collins was my inspiration… I was inspired a little by her part in Dynasty, so I pulled a little bit from her but also I tried to think what would Princess Diana maybe have looked like had she become our Queen and was Queen today?

Described as sex, drugs and rock and roll at Windsor Castle, The Royals is Elizabeth Hurley's first major return to the screen since 2012.

Liz joined us to reveal her inspirations behind her role and tell us why she once had a calf living in her laundry room!

When asked if she thinks the real royal family are anything like the fictitious family in the show, Liz replied, “Well that’s just it because we never seen behind closed doors - but it would be nice wouldn’t it? We can speculate. But I doubt it!”

Elizabeth Hurley took inspiration from Joan Collins to play The Royals character Queen Helena

The Royals is on E! tomorrow at 9pm.
