“Kim Kardashian will NEVER be in Ab Fab!” Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders are not fans of Mrs West
The reality star was not asked to be a cameo in their new movie
JENNIFER Saunders and Joanna Lumley have denied that Kim Kardashian has a secret cameo in their new movie – because they never had any intention of asking her.
The Ab Fab ladies have called on scores of famous faces to appear in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie including Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, Spice Girl Emma Bunton, Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson and supermodel Kate Moss.
But Kim Kardashian didn’t make the cut and never will, even if they decide to do a sequel.
Speaking to Now magazine, they both said a firm “no” when asked if she was in it and Jennifer added: “She’s not in them. I’m not going to ask her to be in it, so don’t go there!”
Jennifer asked scoffed rumours that One Direction star Harry Styles would also be appearing and said: “That’s what happens with the internet.”
The film, based on the successful TV series, sees Jennifer and Joanna revive their roles as PR guru Eddy Monsoon and fashion mag director Patsy Stone.
It sees the best friends flee to France after Eddy accidentally kills Kate Moss, and Jennifer said the model was more than happy to be a part of it.
She said; “I’d written it and sold the film and then someone said, ‘Have you told Kate?’ And I said, ‘Oh…’ I’d just imagined that she’d say yes.
“So I was really nervous sending her the script. I got a text back and she said, ‘Love it.’ That’s all you get with Kate: ‘Yeah, love it.’ I said, ‘Oh great, so you’ll do it?’ And she just said, ‘Yeah’.”
And she not only appeared in it but was a very good sport and even joined them for a fish and chip supper after filming.
Jennifer said: “She was glorious! I tell you what was extraordinary – she sits huddled in a blanket with a cup of tea after being in the freezing cold water and then second the camera goes on it’s like watching a goddess. It’s quite something!

“It was a great day with her. We were filming up in Whitby and Kate had finished before us and she said, ‘Oh, I don’t want to go!’ And then she said, ‘I’ll see you down the pub!’
“So we all went and had fish and chips down the pub with Kate, Bruno Tonioli, Janette Krankie, Celia Imrie, Lulu…”
Joanna added: “God bless them, it was quite extraordinary!”
And apart from President Obama not being able to be in it, Jennifer said she didn’t have to persuade any other stars from taking on cameos.
She said: “My happiest moment was when we were filming a fantasy sequence and I looked over and has Stella McCartney, Lara Stone, Daisy Lowe, Alexa Chung, Suki Waterhouse, Jourdan Dunn and Kate wafting in… and it was my fantasy, never mind Edina’s. Because they all knew each other they were all happy as Larry.”
