The 62-year-old star suggested he is being watched by extraterrestrial life and is "terrified" he might wake up one day to see an alien standing at the bottom of his bed.

Speaking on his Radio 2 show 'Paul O'Grady on the Wireless', he said: "These strange light formations in the sky - and we don't know what they are.

"The Army say it's not them sending flares up, so we don't know, but I'm just terrified of waking up one night and there's this thing of the bottom of my bed like ET.

"You don't know do you? It's like I'm taking the dog round the orchard and I'll look up and there are these weird lights - I'm being observed ... at 2am in the morning."

The TV presenter - who rose to fame playing drag queen Lily Savage - came to the conclusion he was being watched when he was listening to singer Kim Wilde, who has been open about her own extraterrestrial beliefs.

He added: "I was listening to Kim Wilde, and she was going on about aliens ... We've got 'em in Kent - I'm serious - over Folkestone, Dungeness and Hythe.

"I've seen them, and I'm not the only one - I've got witnesses, so I'm not going out of my mind."

'Kids In America' singer Kim, 57, previously revealed her own experience with what she believed to be a UFO.

She said: "I once saw a UFO in my back garden. It was the day after Michael Jackson died and I thought, 'He is coming back to haunt me.'

"It was on a Friday night and I saw two lights in the sky that were static and silent."
