It has been revealed that Queen legend Freddie Mercury dressed Princess Diana up as a male model in order to sneak her in to a London gay club.

Comedienne Cleo Rocos wrote the revelation in her autobiography in which she reveals that she hatched the plan to smuggle Diana into the club along with fellow comedian Kenny Everett.

Rocos write: "Scrutinising her in the half light, we decided that the most famous icon of the modern world might just — just — pass for a rather eccentrically dressed gay male model."

"The place was full. It took an absolute aeon to edge our way to the bar, with person after person cheerfully greeting us. It was fabulously outrageous and so bizarrely exciting. Our hearts pounded with every new leather-clad hairy body that approached, but no one, absolutely no one, recognised Diana.

"On we inched, through the leather throngs and thongs, until finally we reached the bar. We were nudging each other like naughty schoolchildren. Diana and Freddie were giggling, but she did order a white wine and a beer. Once the transaction was completed, we looked at one another, united in our triumphant quest. We did it!

"Never has going to a bar been quite so exhilarating and fun. We then made a swift exit, a cab was hailed and we whisked Diana back to Kensington Palace. The jolly queens queuing outside unknowingly waved back as their 'queen of hearts' waved goodbye. Not a single person ever found us out."
