To say that Carrie Fisher's latest book The Princess Diarist has caused something of a stir would be a wild understatement.

Following the extract of Fisher's book that confirmed her three-month love affair with Harrison Ford during the 1976 filming of Star Wars, the fandom -- and pretty much the whole world -- went wild about the story.

"400,000 news services picked it up," Fisher tells Graham Norton in the clip above, from Friday's episode of The Graham Norton Show.

The best bit? Fisher's impression of how Ford responded on the few occasions she brought it up afterwards.
