She told him: ‘You try to bat it off every time!’
Cat and Ben kept a dignified silence, ever the professionals, and opted not to respond to the dig.
Earlier on in the interview Ben pointed out how successful her career has been over the years, since she shot to fame in 2009.
He said: ‘Being proud of how far you’ve come as well, and the journey you’re on, which is seemingly getting higher and higher.’
Jameela said: ‘I didn’t sl33p with anyone. I would have sl3pt my way d0wn the ind”stry.
‘I got very lucky, right place at right time, and I’ve never been deterred by the fact I’m completely under qualified and under prepared for everything. That makes it funnier
‘I refer to myself sometimes as a failure pervert because I’m obsessed with how wrong it could go, it makes for a funnier story for friends.
‘No one likes a story of success.’
She continued: ‘We like failure. I run towards it, that’s where the adventure, the good juice is of life.
