Eamonn asked Ray if he liked Jack, to which the Sexy Beast actor replied: "No. We just didn't get on. I just found him... Listen, he's getting older, and maybe there are a lot of things going on with him.
"I didn't like him, I thought he was so far up his own a**e it was unbelievable. And he was very rude.
"He was very rude to me, he was rude to my wife, if he had been a younger man, I'd have definitely knocked him out."

Despite not seeing eye-to-eye, Ray praised his talent in the industry.
He said: "But you've got to give him because he's an older man, much older than me.
"He's fantastic at what he does, brilliant at what he does. He's a great writer as well, by all accounts, at least that's what he kept telling us.'
"But at the same time, I can't make an excuse for him. My grandfather was an old man, but he was a gentleman. He was a lovely man.

'So f**k him, basically. Really. Why should I say I like him? I don't. You ask me the question, you get the answer."

"Everyone else loves him to death – I just wanted him to be a great guy. We just did not click."
Ray later admitted that he had no idea why Jack did not warm to him and he admitted he disliked stars who were "arrogant".
'It doesn't worry me. It doesn't shock me. You clash a little bit. He's not the first person I've clashed with. He won't be the last," he said in an interview with The Independent.
"I don't like arrogance. There's no need for it. This kind of feeling of being above everyone else.

"We all end up in the same hole in the ground.
"But some people have this smarmy little side mouth.... And there are different ways of dealing with that.
"You either say your piece and tell them to shut the f**k up. Or you punch them in the mouth."
Although they may have clashed, Ray insisted he would work with Jack again if the opportunity arose.

He added: "Of course I want to work with him again! He's a fantastic actor."

Nepo-baby looks just like her 90s TV star mum as she cuddles a lion in Africa – but can you guess who she is?
TV star Donna Air's daughter Freya Aspinall looks just like her mum as she cuddles a huge lion in Africa. The 21-year-old conservationist is seen cuddling two lions in a recent video before releasing them into the wild with her dad Damien. 7 Donna Air's grown-up daughter Freya is a conservationist Credit: instagram/@freyaaspinall 7 Freya has grown up around lions and gorillas in kent Credit: instagram/@freyaaspinall 7 She works for her father's conservation charity The Aspinall Foundation Credit: instagram/@freyaaspinall 7 Freya's parents Donna Air and Damian Aspinall Credit: Getty Freya works with The Aspinall Foundation, a charity run by her father, Damian Aspinall, and founded by her grandfather, the late John Aspinall. Freya rests her head on a lion in one photo on Instagram, and penned: "My beautiful ZEMO on the day we released him in Africa. I can't wait to see him soon." Freya spent much of her childhood surrounded by animals at Howletts and Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks in Kent. She now boasts 1.5m followers on Instagram, where she shares videos and pics of her life, and she says conservation is in her DNA. READ MORE ON DONNA AIR 'I grew up with animals and couldn't imagine my world without them,' she recently told the Financial Times. 'This is in my blood – I've always known what I wanted to do.' However, she has inherited Donna's striking features and is also very close to her TV star mum. It's been more than three decades since Donna shot to fame as a child star on Most read in Celebrity She later swapped acting for presenting, landing gigs on shows including MTV UK and The Big Breakfast. A string of cameo film roles followed before she participated in reality shows Splash!, Celebrity MasterChef and the tenth series of Dancing On Ice. Amazing moment millionaire conservationist Damian Aspinall's wife meets the tender gorillas he bred in Africa Donna, 45, is also known for having an on-off relationship for four years with Kate Middleton's brother Freya's parents, Donna and Damian, were introduced in 2000 at a dinner party by their friend Donna was 21, Damian 40, and their relationship and parenting style quickly made headlines.

The move was a tradition Damian carried out with his eldest daughters when they were babies. In another video Freya feeds a gorilla snacks from her pocket. She says: "Animals don't belong in a cage in zoos they belong in the wild. We hate zoos. "Kifu is at our sanctuary because his wife's who are a little bit older than him need medical attention 3 times a day and wouldn't survive the journey back to Africa. "Gorillas live in a family group, so it would be completely unnatural to send him alone and separate him from his family. "It's the same as humans if we were sent away never to see our family again we would all be so unhappy. "So for him we give him the best life possible sadly at our sanctuary but his 5 sons are happily free in the wild where they belong. "It's important to highlight any animal that can go back to the Wild should go back to the Wild and those that 100% can't should be given the best life possible, but this shouldn't be an excuse for zoos to keep all animals behind a bars for their business." 7 Donna and grown-up daughter Freya put on a glam display for a night out in London Credit: Getty 7 Donna shot to fame on Byker Grove, alongside Ant and Dec Credit: BBC 7 She was previously in an on/off relationship with James Middleton Credit: PA

Advertisement "I'm going to keep my eyes open for more colours it's that amazing." Is supermarket fashion the new high street? DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in: The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family. Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street. Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year. So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful? Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative. A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year. Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.
