Not hard - he was just trying to shove him away." The man, who has not been identified, kept taking pictures as Hugh stormed off.

Hugh’s new book ’What Can I Do To Help?’ - August 05
Hugh Grant has confessed how he played practical jokes on his mother while she was dying of cancer - in a bid to keep her spirits up.

In a new book aimed at helping friends and families of cancer sufferers, entitled ’What Can I Do To Help?’, the ’Notting Hill’ actor reveals for the first time how he coped with mum Fynvola’s illness and death. Recalling his hospital visits in his mother’s last days, Hugh writes about how he made his beloved mum laugh by wearing her bedpan as a hat and blowing up surgical gloves to resemble udders. He says: "I got a bit bored and went back to tormenting her - my personal favourite being secretly activating her hospital bed so that the head and legs both lifted to put her in an amusing jack-knife position. "The inflated surgical-glove-cum-udder, the cardboard potty as millinery and gulping the patients’ oxygen to alleviate hangovers also passed the hours."
