Now, after decades of rumours, she finally spills the beans on her relationship with ever-hunky Harrison, 63, who played Han Solo. She tells Justin Lee Collins in new C4 show Bring Back . . . Star Wars: "I went on the film saying 'I'm going to have an affair', like it was a kiwi, an exotic fruit -- because I'd never had one!" She adds: "I had a crush on Harrison for sure. Harrison is great fun when he's had a few drinks."

Shaking her head and saying: "I'm going to get in so much trouble," she adds: "Once I left the room and came back and he was in the closet not wearing a lot of clothes." Asked about reports of intergalactic battles between Harrison and co-star Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, Carrie says: "Harrison wouldn't have a competition with Mark -- it's an uneven competition. He'd win, it would be mean to have a competition!"

Carrie, now a successful screenwriter, confesses there was "some jealousy" from Mark over Harrison's huge success. She adds: "Harrison had this enormous career by the second or third film, that was tough for Mark. He was like, "This wasn't supposed to happen - it's the adventures of Luke Skywalker'."

Memorably, Carrie was made to wear a skimpy gold bikini as she was held hostage by Jabba The Hutt in Return Of The Jedi in 1983. And she laughs: "George has it -- he wears it all the time. That bikini didn't move, so you could see all the way to Florida!"
