According to US Magazine, Theron was a guest on the show, to promote her film 'Battle in Seattle'.

The film was written and directed by her long-term Irish partner Stuart Townsend.

When asked about marriage the 33-year-old Oscar-winner said: "I just know I don't want it, Stuart doesn't want it. Why mess with a good thing?

"Even when I was little, I never dreamed about walking down the aisle."

When asked about having children, the actress joked: "Okay, let me break it to you, I actually have seven children nobody knows about!"

However, she added: "I always wanted to be a mom because I have always had such a close relationship with my own mom."

'Battle in Seattle' premiered at the Dublin International Film Festival in February.

Must Watch TV

  • - House

    10.00pm Sky 1

    Can you believe it? It's the last ever episode of House. Eight seasons of medical conundrums, acerbic wit, questionable managerial style, drug addictions, psychiatric help, ill-fated romances, plus a prison sentence to boot, resulted in Dr Gregory House becoming one of TV's most memorable characters. The role nabbed Hugh Laurie a brace of Golden Globes plus a slate of Emmy nominations, catapulting the former Blackadder star to meteoric fame. At its peak, House was watched by 81.8 million people in 66 countries. Fittingly titled 'Everybody Dies' to bookend the 2004 pilot 'Everybody Lies', this emotional final prescription sees House examine his life and personal demons as he treats a drug-addicted patient (guest star James LeGros). Plus, former stars Jennifer Morrison, Olivia Wilde and Amber Tamblyn return; as does Kal Penn, who resumes his role as Kutner, the man who took his own life in Season Five. Dr Greg, we salute you!
