A lady of many talents: Emily Blunt glams up for an appearance on the Jonathan Ross Show... to display her wood chopping skills

The 29-year-old stunned in champagne coloured dress but proving to be more than a pretty face, the English actress shocked the audience when she showed off her impressive wood chopping skills.

Speaking to talk show host Jonathan Ross about the role she took on in her latest movie Looper, she quipped: 'I had to learn how to chop wood really convincingly'.
    During filming for the movie which is set for release on September 28, Blunt had to endure months of training to ensure she chopped wood like a professional.
    The action film which also stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a younger Bruce Willis in a story of an assassin beamed back in time from the future to kill a specific group of targets.

    Emily also spoke about the likelihood of there being a sequel for The Devil Wears Prada.
    Failing to give much up, she said: 'I hear there’s another book that’s been written, so I don’t know if it’s going to happen. 
    'I think if everyone came back, but I heard Meryl in an interview the other day and they were like, "would you do it Meryl?" and she went, "sure if I didn’t have to lose the f**king weight."  She hated it, the starvation we went through. We had to be really small'.

    David Guetta also sat down for a catch up with Ross, and revealed that there have been times in his highly successful career where he has performed in three different countries in 24 hours.
    The chart topping DJ explained: 'One year ago I had to promote the first version [of his album Nothing But The Beat] and I was doing three countries in one day.  It was really insane.  
    'I was taking a private plane and would start during the day until the end of the night. I would go play for an hour then run and take a plane and go to the next country.
    Admitting that he 'loves' his job, he continued: 'That was the craziest thing I’ve done in my life.'

    Sports Relief hero, John Bishop opened about the charity triathlon he completed in March which raised over £1million towards vaccinating 250,000 children in Africa.
    He spoke about how it was only David Walliams, who swam the Thames in 2011 for the same cause, who really understood what he went through earlier this year.
    The comic explained: 'David Walliams was the only one who came up to me and said, "How is your head?" Everyone else was saying "how’s your body?"
    'He’s been through something similar and what happens is you don’t realise how much of your head you offer to it, how much time, the months going up to it, how much it occupies everything.'
    The complete line-up: Viewers can look forward to a performance from Fun as well as Ross getting up close and personal with David Guetta, Emily Blunt, Jonathan Ross, Michael Gambon and John Bishop
