Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher says it probably "bugged" Harrison Ford that she lifted the lid on their affair.
The star, who played Princess Leia opposite Ford as Han Solo in the sci-fi films, revealed earlier this year that they had been a secret item on set.
Speaking on The Graham Norton Show this week, she acknowledged that the revelation may have been an unwelcome one. She said she had told Ford of her plan to publish her diaries from the time.
"He joked about sending for a lawyer, so he was aware of them, and I told him that if there was anything he didn't like he should let me know. I sent them to him and waited for him to get back to me," she said.
"He is incredibly private and I am sure the whole thing bugged him, but he comes out of it well. I liked him."
