Witter: What’s happening?
KM: Currently lazing in bed in my hotel room.
What kind of pyjamas do you wear? Winceyette sensible ones or sexy? Are you in bed on your own?
Yes, I am on my own! In my fluffy pyjamas from Marks & Spencer.
Marks & Spencer? But you’re loaded... Or are you loaded and tight?
There’s nothing better than a pair of Marks & Spencer pyjamas! And I spend my money elsewhere.
On yachts, houses and private planes?
No! But seriously, I’m used to quite a basic life, and I like to keep things simple.
So you’re not at all diva-ish? Don’t you have ridiculous demands on tour?
The most diva-ish I’ve been is asking for dry-ice-filled bubbles that fall down on stage. I got a few looks for that one!

You’ve been called the Queen of Easy Listening, and Amy Winehouse has been much ruder. Do you care ?
No.
That’s telling. When people say no like that, it really means “Yes, very much”. Who are your rivals? Cliff Richard, Doris Day?
Rod Stewart, Mick Hucknall...don’t forget David Hasselhoff!
All famous philanderers. How’s that side of your life?
I’m single at the moment. And waiting for the right person. But I might have to change my M&S pyjamas first!
Do you think the media are too nosy about your sexuality? Is it our business that you might be a lesbian? Are you?
I don’t think the media are that nosy. It doesn’t bother me. And I do love everyone.
Interestingly, you come from Georgia. Do you ever get begging letters from impoverished relatives?
I’ve relatives who I help out! But I wouldn’t describe them as impoverished. It’s all very complicated over there.

I know that. But should the people of Georgia be allowed to secede?
If the majority want to, there might be an argument for it. But I don’t think it’s fair for Russia to use the area as a political tool.
