DIANA 'BUBBLES' FISHER TURNS 90!

THE SHOWBIZ VETERAN OPENS UP ABOUT HER INCREDIBLE CAREER

- Craig Bennett

Diana Fisher’s face lights up the room when she’s asked how she’ll be celebrating her milestone 90th birthday on May 30.

“Well, they don’t call me ‘Bubbles’ for nothing … I’ll be celebrating with lovely friends and with lots of good champagne. It promises to be quite the party,” laughs the effervescent TV trouper.

“I don’t refer to it as my 90th – that makes me sound positively ancient – rather, I prefer to say it’s my ‘three times thirty’ celebration.”

London-born Diana, who remains remarkably spry thanks to her upbeat outlook on life and “buckets of vitality”, says she’s also commemorating 73 years in showbiz.

“I was an only child who never sat still. My dream was to become a performer, and so as a youngster I took dancing lessons. At 17 I landed a job at the BBC, which I hoped might provide a stepping stone into the giddy world of showbiz.”

It was during Diana’s eight-year stint at the BBC that she developed an interest in the royal family.
