Dame Judi Dench, 80, has given her goldfish the “kiss of life” twice.

The actress believes being surrounded by pets is “good for the soul” and never ceases to be amazed by her “legendary” fish, Lazarus.

She said: “I truly believe animals are good for the soul. One of my cats disappeared just before Christmas, he just went off, he was very old. But I still have my daughter Finty’s dog who lives with me and my legendary goldfish Lazarus. I’ve had to give him the kiss of life twice, and he’s still with us. That fish was the size of a finger when we got him. Now, he’s bigger than a breadstick.”
