US 'a difficult friend' 'Time for Blair to go' Blair leaves it to God

Canberra - Sometimes life imitates art - but not when it comes to Tony Blair's underpants.

The British prime minister on Monday said he had never had a "Hugh Grant moment" at 10 Downing Street like in the hit film Love Actually, when a fictional prime minister is caught dancing around in his underwear.

Australia's Channel 9 television asked him about the scene where a tea lady at the prime minister's official London residence interrupts Hugh Grant's character in mid-flow.

"Have you had a Hugh Grant moment?" a reporter asked.

"I was wondering what you were asking for a moment there," Blair replied.

"No, I haven't been caught."

But he said Martine McCutcheon, the actress who played the tea lady, had recently been to Number 10 to visit a friend, and that staff sent her in to surprise him.

"The door opened and in she came with a cup of tea," Blair said. "It was great."
