Helen MirrenHelen MirrenOK, we've applauded Helen Mirren for her Oscar... but it ends right there.

What we are about to tell you about Hel, ain't big and ain't clever.

In fact, it's positively rude.

The Dame has admitted that she didn't wear any undies at the Oscars.

She revealed this little gem on US TV as she showed off the gown she wore to the awards.

"It was all made for me so I didn't have to have any underwear," she told Oprah Winfrey.

"It fitted me like two angel's hands."

She cupped her boobs at this point - in case we didn't understand.

"I cried when I put it on, it is a work of art."

Well, one thing's for sure, you'd never catch the real Queenie without her knicks.
