A woman who was reunited with her old college friend Johnny Vegas on national television said she doesn't "care about the people of Basildon".
Comedian Johnny Vegas spoke to the Echo on Saturday <18> and asked for help in tracking down his former flatmate Liz Croft, who he lived with while studying ceramics at Middlesex Polytechnic.
Although she was happy to appear on Channel 4 show Richard and Judy to be reunited with her old pal, she refused to speak to her local paper about it, insisting she was a "private person".
She said: "I don't want to be in the local paper.
"I don't care about the people in Basildon. I'd like to keep it at that."
