Sarah Jessica ParkerSex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker is not looking forward to stepping back into her character Carrie’s Manolo Blahnik shoes - literally - for the big screen adaptation because wearing stilettos constantly has damaged her knees.

Sarah told Elle magazine recently: “I used to spend 18 to 20 hours filming in heels. I’ve totally destroyed my body by running and dancing in heels. My knees are shot.”

She is also bored of Carrie’s signature drink, the Cosmopolitan cocktail: “I’ve had many Cosmopolitans sent across to me in bars, but I always think, ‘God, if I could get this into a bottle, I could clean so much stuff at home.’”

Sarah played Carrie for six years until 2004 and is set to reprise the role next month when the long-rumoured film starts shooting.
