Simon Mayo took to his Twitter account to reveal that the Australian star abandoned an interview with him, posting:

'A first for me and @wittertainment as Naomi Watts walked out of an interview! She seemed a tad uncomfortable with the questions. Shame.'

When asked what he'd asked to ruffle the feathers of the star, who takes on the role of Princess Diana in the upcoming biopic, Diana, Mayo replied:

'The honest answer is I have no idea. You know my hectoring style is always a problem.'

Mayo added that the interview is likely to air next Friday (13 September), and that this week he will be featuring an interview with Ron Howard, director of Rush, who 'stayed for the full interview.'
