Winslet: 'I'm keeping my Oscar in the loo'

Kate Winslet has revealed that she is planning to keep her best actress Oscar in the bathroom.

The actress, who scooped the award for her role in The Reader, told the Daily Mail that she has no intention of parading her trophy around.

"The Oscar's going in the loo, next to Sam's [Mendes]," she said, referring to her husband's best director prize for American Beauty. "I'm not taking it on a set.

"I hope it won't change anything in how other directors and actors work with me...I'm just going to work the way I've always worked, which is just to get on with it."

Previously, the actress admitted that she could not stop admiring the trophy, saying: "I keep looking at him and going, 'Ooh wow'. Looking at every little piece - very nice little bottom."
