In a candid revelation over the weekend at the Hay Festival, actress Miriam Margolyes didn't hold back when asked about celebrities she dislikes, singling out singer Lily Allen as particularly "unfriendly." The 83-year-old actress recounted a tense experience from their shared appearance on *The Graham Norton Show* in 2014, alongside actor Dominic Cooper.
Margolyes, a beloved figure known for her roles in *Harry Potter* and various British productions, shared that Allen, then 29, made the encounter uncomfortable. “She thought when she was on the programme that it was all about her,” Margolyes stated. “She thought: ‘Who is this woman? Miriam who?’ She wasn’t friendly and I didn’t like that, and so I showed my dislike.

Norton asked Margolyes about her involvement in advertisements, to which she humorously admitted, “Yes, always!” When Norton probed whether her opinions were welcomed, she added, “No... but I mean, I know better than they do, that is the truth. I'm experienced and I need to help them sometimes. The grammar is often bad," casting a pointed look at Allen. This prompted Allen to respond, laughing awkwardly, "She really doesn't want to listen to my songs!"
