An eight-year-old Lowe thought the strawberry-flavoured underwear he bought would make an ideal gift for his new relative.

Speaking to Jonathan Ross, the actor said: “When I was eight years old I learnt to be careful what you buy.

“My father had remarried. A new stepmother – it was that first moment as a kid where you actually go out and you’re going to buy like an adult, you’re going to buy Christmas presents.

“I bought her what I thought was great, they were edible panties. As an eight-year-old, I’m thinking: ‘these are amazing, you can eat them and they’re strawberry, she is going to love these’.”
