The British beauty teamed up with McCartney last month, as she modelled the designer's latest collection at her London Fashion Week show. She also supported her friend at the turning-on of her Christmas lights in December 2011, at which Ab Fab character Eddie was the guest of honour.
Updated Wednesday December 14, 11.53am: Jennifer Saunders has offered up a few highly anticipated details about Stella McCartney's Absolutely Fabulous cameo, which is due to hit our screens this Christmas.
"It's funny because [in this series] the joke is that Stella McCartney won't ever let Eddy into her shop to get any clothes," Saunders told Stylist. "Lots of people go in but the door is always locked and I can't get in. And I'm like, 'Stella! Why don't you love me?' I fall at Stella's feet at a drinks reception and go, 'I'd look great in your clothes!' She treats me like her stalker, which I've become. But actually, in real life, Stella told me, 'Oh, I'd love Edina to look really nice in my clothes. Can't she have a Stella makeover?' And I said, 'No, she can't!'"
In the new series, McCartney succeeds Lacroix as Eddy and Patsy's label of choice - a mixed blessing for the designer, so Saunders explained.
"I said 'Don't you mind being the new Lacroix?'" Saunders recalled of a previous conversation with McCartney. "And she said 'No, but he did go out of business didn't he?' But I was like, 'Don't worry, it's not a curse.'"
Updated Thursday December 1, 10.15am: Stella McCartney is set to star in an Ab Fab Christmas special.
Following her star turn at Stella McCartney's Christmas lights switch-on, Absolutely Fabulous' Edina Monsoon (or more likely her real-life alter ego Jennifer Saunders) has managed to convince Stella it will be a good PR move - although McCartney still isn't convinced.
"It's not exactly my idea of fun, but it's Ab Fab, and how can you say no to Ab Fab?" she said. "I'm sure I'll be terrifying, but, you know."
WATCH ALL THE ACTION ON VOGUETV
Edina and her long-suffering friend Patsy (Joanna Lumley) will take a trip to the Stella McCartney store, the Telelgraph reports, in a one-off episode which is also set to star Olympic gold-medal winner Dame Kelly Holmes as well as former Spice Girl Emma Bunton, who appears as a friend of Edina's long-suffering daughter, Saffy.
It was wonderful to be part of," Bunton, who also attended the Christmas lights party, said. "All my friends are so jealous."
