And for Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall, it was time to kick off her teetering designer stilettos as she dined at London’s L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon restaurant following the premiere of the film version of the tv series.

Says a chum: “Kim’s feet were obviously killing her and when she left the restaurant she was barefoot, revealing her rather unattractive feet and sheepishly trying to hide behind dining companion, co-star Mario Cantone.”

But when she later made an appearance at the official after-show party at London’s Old Billingsgate Market, British-born Kim, safely back in a different pair of high heels, confided: “I’ve been having a love affair with London, especially the past four years since the series ended.

"I’ve been spending a lot of time with friends and family here.  I even have a Tube pass.”

Meanwhile, co-star Sarah Jessica Parker, has set her sights on appearing in the West End.

Sarah, who plays heroine Carrie Bradshaw alongside Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, has always harboured ambitions to tread the boards in Blighty.

“I would be honoured but it hasn’t worked out scheduling wise yet,” confessed the 43-year-old.

“But I’d love to. It’s the destination point for an actor.”

But will there be a Sex And The City sequel to put a stop to her West End debut?

“We are not looking past today, we would be greedy to do so,” declared SJP.
