It looked like John and Gregg absolutely loved you on Celebrity Masterchef, and were willing you to do really well. Was it as fun as it looks? I thought that if you'd been more confident, you could have gone further in the competition.

How many years have you been touring for? Does it get easier or harder? What do you like (or dislike) most about it? I think I would miss my own bed too much

Now you have written three books do you see yourself as as much of an author as a comic?

I like the title of your new book. Did you come up with it? Also - Gransnet is renowned for talking about cake - so can I ask whether you prefer vanilla slices - or eclairs?

I saw on twitter last night that you said you got fired from Loose Women. What happened? I saw you a couple of times and thought you were very good but i don't get to watch very often

When you were in the jungle for I'm A Celeb, Jenny, what did you miss most about home?

I am never sure if I would miss my family the most or whether I would JUST WANT A FLUSHING TOILET NOW, if forced to choose.

Hi Jenny if your not a Gransnetter you should be grin

I would like to ask if, being interviewed on Gransnet, being a self confessed geriatric and a Grumpy Old Woman - are you a secret Gransnetter?

I think I've heard you say your daughter is a student? But do you hope she will make you a grandma one day?

PS Am I allowed to ask that?

What was it like being in Grumpy Old Women? I imagine rather like being on Gransnet but on the telly. I do love a good rant

ellasgranny Fri 21-Sept-12 19:25:07

I saw you on Masterchef recently. Were you disappointed not to make it further in the competition?

beeble Fri 21-Sept-12 19:01:42

Ooh I love Jenny Eclair!!

Jenny - I noticed on twitter you describe yourself as a geriatric stand-up comic. Do you think your age is affecting your career (in a positive or negative way?)

Oh wonderful - I did so enjoy her last two novels. I will order the new one for my kindle right now!

I would like to ask Jenny whether she prefers writing or stand-up. And, if I may have second question, how she came up with the title for her new book. It's great!

Thank you

We're delighted that Jenny Eclair - ex-Loose Woman, novelist, Perrier winner and survivor of I'm A Celebrity - is joining us for a live webchat on Thursday 27 September. Jenny has a new book out (Love, Death and Vanilla Slices) and is about to embark on a nationwide stand-up tour, something she says will give her enormous pleasure and varicose veins.
Do ask a question.
