EASTENDERS icon June Brown, 92, has revealed Lady Gaga, 33, invited her to a nightclub after they hit it off on The Graham Norton Show.
The unlikely pals met on the BBC One show back in 2013, and June recalled how kind the pop star was to her behind the scenes.
She told The Daily Star: “She was so funny, intelligent and down to earth, but when she went in front of the press, you could see her put the Gaga persona on.
“She saw me sitting on my own and came back, dropped the whole Gaga thing and invited me to a nightclub.
“Sadly I couldn’t make it, but I thought what a charming and talented girl.”
June, who has played Dot Branning for more than 30 years, impressed Gaga with her sense of style during the chat show appearance.
Gaga said during the recording: “I am a really big fan of yours.
“You are so fabulously dressed. I am honoured to be sitting next to you.”
She then picked up June’s glass of wine and added: “I want to drink from your cup to see what those genes are.”
The pair then posed for a cosy snap backstage with Gaga holding June’s autobiography.

Earlier this month, June revealed she was refusing to give up booze and cigarettes saying the secret to a long life is doing “what you damn well please”.
She told the Mirror: “I’m going to die of something fairly soon, so why not enjoy myself ?
“I love red wine and also dark chocolate and the Guinness helps me keep a bit of weight on.
“So I don’t need to be careful about what I eat or drink.
“What’s the point of counting how many cigarettes I smoke a day? I’ve been on them for over 70 years.”
