Caroline Quentin says stroking a hairless pussy on 'The World's Ugliest Pets' was like holding a "little warm peach".

The former 'Jonathan Creek' star is searching for aesthetically-challenged animals on the new TV show, and while she wasn't expecting her bald feline friends to feel nice, she was pleasantly surprised when she had a little touch.
She said: "I met some naked cats, and I have six cats and I'm used snuggling them.
"When you look at them, if you've never met a hairless cat before they look like they're not going to feel very nice.
"But actually they are soft and warm, and like a little warm peach. They are kind of delightful and have got wonderful personalities.
"They are quite beautiful in an unusual way."
But it's not just hairless pussies who Caroline has grown to like, she has become a big fan of all types of naked pets.
Speaking on ITV's 'This Morning', she added: "It's quite a big thing, people love the unusual-looking, the hairless, the odd, the peculiar.
"It was only when I stopped travelling around that I realised it's quite a big thing out there for the nude pet.
"It really is the case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder, because wherever you go people think their pet is the most beautiful.
"In time I even came to agree with that that notion."
This comes after Caroline - who is married to Sam Farmer, who is 12 years younger than her - previously admitted she is enjoying sex more now that she's in her 50s.
Speaking in 2015, she said: "Once you're over 40, and over 50 particularly, people don't perceive you as a sexual being any more. It's certainly not true in my own life. I find getting older enjoyable and, as the years have gone on, I've enjoyed my sexuality more. I don't feel asexual just because I'm over a certain age. Quite the reverse actually."
