She’s enjoyed several luncheons and dinner dates with pal Piers Morgan.

And she’s also hosted the Delevingne family.

Travelling with her husband Percy Gibson, who is thought to be around 55, the star appears to be ignoring social distancing while abroad.

As for Joan’s fantastic physique, she says it is all down to her childhood.

Born in 1933, she says being born into austerity has prevented her from ever over indulging in food.

Speaking to Good Housekeeping, Joan said: “We didn’t have junk food. We were given cod liver oil every day and had to eat our greens. It’s sad to me to see older women getting heavy and losing their joie de vivire.”

And she told Grazia that she deliberately avoids lounging in direct sunlight.

She said: “I used to fry myself in the sun. Ever since I was 18 in the South of France, I’d turn a mahogany colour using a combination of baby oil and iodine.”

Joan added: “But the second I went to Hollywood I met my mentor who told me I’d be a crocodile if I carried on sitting in the sun.”
