She's not keeping up! Iconic British actress Joanna Lumley says she 'doesn't know anything' about the Kardashian family

The Kardashians' every little move is tracked by a global audience in the millions. 

So it may come as a surprise to hear that actress Joanna Lumley doesn't know a thing about the iconic family. 

Speaking to Stellar on Sunday, the 71-year-old admitted that she is one of the few who doesn't keep up with the Kardashians.

When asked by the publication whether she believes the family should, like her, visit etiquette school, she said: 'This is so awful to say, but I’ve never seen them so it would be terrible to comment.'

'I don’t know anything about them.' 

That said, she did admit to at least one tidbit of knowledge about the celebrity powerhouse - that all their names start with K.

The Order of the British Empire recipient also took the chance to reflect on her iconic role of Patsy Stone in the long-running BBC sitcom Absolutely Fabulous. 

Joanna said she 'adores' Patsy, and is at peace with the fact that she will always be seen as the character by fans. 

'I love her (Patsy) so much, and I’ll tell you why: She made people laugh and, since being entertaining is my number one goal in life, I was thrilled to be there,' she told the publication.

The Indian-born actress - who won two BAFTA Awards for her performance on the show - added that she was pleased to receive silverware.

But she said her reward is ultimately received when people 'take the DVD out of the library'.

Joanna played the role of the heavy drinking and smoking Patsy for the show's five seasons, which were spread over 20 years.
