With sixty cameos filmed, celebs across the globe were clamouring for an appearance in the hugely anticipated Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie.

It's been four years since Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley's characters Eddy and Patsy were last on screen, and for their first big screen venture they've been joined by some of the biggest Ab Fab fans out there.

In a MailOnline exclusive, familiar faces from fashion and Hollywood reveal their love for the iconic series.

Runway queen Kate Moss has a key role in the movie, as Eddy and Patsy's mission to meet their fashion idol ends in a soggy disaster, when they accidentally push Kate into the river Thames at an uber fashionable party.

The resulting media storms leads Eddy and Patsy fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera.

Kate jumped at the chance to appear in the film, revealing that she always thought the original series 'was such an amazing take on the fashion business.'

Jerry Hall is also an Ab Fab fanatic gushing that 'all my girlfriends loved it!'

Jennifer Saunder points out that 'what people love is the two of them, it's the Patsy and Eddy relationship. And it's literally about let's have a laugh, let's put on silly clothes and let's get pi**ed.'

Jane Horrocks, who is back as Bubble goes one step further, musing that the show 'was the first of its kind. There's always been a bit of a taboo about women behaving badly on screen.'
