The Ron Weasley actor recalled how a drag queen had invited him back for tea after he had given her an autograph.

“I just can’t say no. I would do anything if someone asks me to do it,” he told Felton. “It’s got me in a few weird situations.

“I met this drag queen and went back to her little flat with all her drag queen friends because I couldn’t say no.”

He explained: “They dressed me up and we went to get bagels at 4am. I was in full heels and feather boa and it was really weird.”

Felton relayed the story to co-star Daniel Radcliffe, who joked: “Don’t put that in the film Tom. If you ask for Rupert’s autograph he’ll come around your f**king house!”

Author JK Rowling also appears in the documentary, which airs tomorrow (March 23) at 9pm on BBC Three.
