Briefly in the "professional douche" department...

Paul "Exclusive" Burrell - aka Lady Diana's butler - has surprised everyone by pushing the limits of reality and "exclusively" telling The News Of The World (what, you were expecting The Guardian or The Times?), albeit via his brother-in-law Ron Cosgrove, that he and Diana used to be, that's right, "exclusively" at it like rabbits.

Great mental picture for your morning tea break, isn't it?

Exclusively!

The 61-year-old furniture dealer said Burrell met him at a Cheshire pub in 1993 and told him that he had been having a sexual relationship with Diana.

"He said they did it in the bedroom, the bath, everywhere," Cosgrove told The News of the World.

"He claimed Diana liked to be domineering.

"Paul told me that he'd get a call from Diana in the middle of the night specifically to have sex with her. He said she was very sexually demanding - 'a bit ****ing kinky' were his words - and if you worked for the princess you worked for her 24/7.

"I told him if it was true I was disgusted with him because he was married to my sister and cheating on her with another woman.

"But he didn't see that as a problem. He just replied, 'Yes, but it IS the princess.' I was dumbfounded. I couldn't believe what he was telling me."

Cosgrove said Burrell had also claimed to have seen the Queen naked after chasing a royal corgi into her bedroom at Buckingham Palace.

So if Burrell told him all this in 1993 - for those of you keeping score at home, that's FIFTEEN YEARS AGO - how come he's only just remembered it all? Does Burrell have a new book coming out? Are times a bit tight at the Cosgrove manse?
