In the ITV interview with Morgan, Cattrall ruled out appearing in a third Sex and the City movie, external, and denied that her decision was down to pay or "diva" demands.

She said: "This is really where I take to task the people from Sex and the City and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker, is that I think she could have been nicer. I really think she could have been nicer. I don't know what her issue is.
