Keira Knightley has confessed to bribing friends into a pre-Golden Globes party with crisps.

The British film-star turned up to the Vanity Fair party with seven friends and only two invites.

"What's a girl to do? I gave the security guys my best smile and confessed that there were eight of us and only two tickets," she told TeenHollywood.com. "They said to me, 'What else you got?' and I said, 'Well, we've got two packets of crisps,' and they said, 'ok, that'll do.'"

She continued: "So we wafted into the poshest party of the night with two packets of ready salted."
