She's one of the biggest names in Hollywood with a film career spanning almost four decades.

And Drew Barrymore proved she's also one of the most down-to-earth and lovable stars in showbiz during her appearance on Loose Women on Thursday, which saw her interviewed by Stacey Solomon and Jane Moore from her hotel room.

The 41-year-old actress was her usual bubbly self, cracking jokes and telling Jane she was ‘such a fox’, joking she wanted to bite her ‘in that yummy pink jumper’.

What a woman: Drew Barrymore proved she's one of the most down-to-earth and lovable stars in showbiz during her appearance on Loose Women on Thursday

When quizzed about the Royal Family, Drew candidly confessed it was all about the Duchess of Cambridge for her.

Asked whether she prefers Prince William or Prince Harry, the star quipped: 'I'd love to be with Kate Middleton the most – at the risk of sounding controversial. Princesses over Princes!'

Drew has previously described herself as bisexual, saying she has been with multiple women and telling Contact Music in 2003, 'Do I like women sexually? Yeah, I do. Totally. I have always considered myself bisexual.'

The star - who has been married three times - has only ever enjoyed high-profile romances with men, however, including a five-year relationship with The Strokes' drummer Fabrizio Moretti and an on/off liaison with actor Justin Long.
