Dame Judi Dench has admitted her £8million Surrey mansion has become overrun with mice.
The Oscar winner, has lived in the picturesque farmhouse in Outwood, Surrey, but she is sharing her home with unwanted furry squatters.
The Bond icon, 87, has opened up about her house woes as she said: " The mice have moved in since lockdown and I’m battling the mice. They have moved in and taken over a bit.”
And it would appear the mice are not the only problem with the historic property, built in 1497, crumbling around her.
She added: "My house is falling down a bit here and there."
The property which she says boosts 'wonderful gardens' also comes with a separate cottage, a swimming pool, workshops, barns, a pond and is believed to be 7,000 square-feet in size.
But despite her global film start status her home is far from the bright lights of the world stage as its nestled in the East Surrey countryside with a population of fewer than 1,000 people.
She's also said to be very active member of the community and will often be seen popping up to support local events, something that can't always be said for A-listers. But possibly, that's why she's a national treasure.
The actor has forged a illustrious career having won an Oscar, a Tony, two Golden Globes, six BAFTAs, and seven Olivier Awards.
The James Bond actor, has recently spoke out about call for a disclaimer to be added to The Crown to make clear the series is not necessarily true.
In a letter to The Times, the actor said Netflix "seems willing to blur the lines between historical accuracy and crude sensationalism".
She further cited "a significant number of viewers" would take its events as historical truth.
Netflix has long since defended the royal series, saying it "has always been presented as a drama based on historical events".
Dame Judi said the suggestions expected to be made in the new series were "cruelly unjust to the individuals and damaging to the institution they represent", especially coming so soon after the death of the Queen.
She continued: "No-one is a greater believer in artistic freedom than I, but this cannot go unchallenged.
"Despite this week stating publicly that The Crown has always been a 'fictionalised drama', the programme-makers have resisted all calls for them to carry a disclaimer at the start of each episode."
Dame Judi previously played Queen Victoria in the 2017 historical drama Victoria & Abdul, and in 1997's Mrs Brown.
