Sherrie Hewson threw Steve McQueen everywhere for dinner

Sherrie Hewson vomited after a dinner over Steve McQueen.

The 74-year-old actress was only an 18-year-old drama student when she had to eat in a Chinese restaurant with the deceased King of Cool, who died in 1980 at the age of 50, and his team had to die into a black cabin after she “passed over his shoes and pants” when she wrongly ordered fish because the menu was “in French”.

Sherrie, who was a student at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and got into a red bus with the film star in 1970 – told the best magazine: “His people wanted to thank, so they brought me to a restaurant in Chelsea.

“However, the menu was in French and I am allergic to fish.

“Unknown to me, I ate a shell soup and after a few bite I vomited.

“He was wearing a white polo-neck sweater that he always wore, and his people hurried in and pulled me out of the restaurant onto the sidewalk.

“Steve came out and I vomited myself over his shoes and pants. She threw me in a black taxi and shouted: 'Bring her out here.'

“When I started, I could see Steve McQueen sickly covered from the window, and I thought: 'He will never marry me now …'”

Sherrie has been single since her divorce from her husband Ken Boyd in 2011.

When asked if she was just together, she revealed: “No, I can't remember when I was the last time I was an appointment – it was probably the Stone Age …

“I never felt the urge to go near someone else again.”

However, the former “loose women” panellist tried to meet dating apps.

She said, “I can't remember the name now, and I'm not sure if it still exists. However, I signed up and spoke to a really nice American man who had a Harley Davidson bike.

“I was much older than him, but he said: 'This is your problem – not mine.' He wanted to hit me for a drink, but I wouldn't go!
