Joanna Lumley reveals hilarious reason she won’t be celebrating her 80th birthday

J.

Instead of throwing a "big party" to mark her 80th birthday, Joanna Lumley has revealed that she plans to spend the day working - and her reason why is both hilarious and completely relatable.

Speaking to Closer, Joanna, who is set to mark her 80th in May of next year, admitted that the thought of a big birthday bash "repels" her. Adding that she was "always at school for birthdays" when she was growing up, she explained that she simply doesn't know why anyone 'would ever' want to throw a party and gather all their friends just to mark being another year older.
