Cox — who has daughter Coco, 18, with ex-husband David Arquette, 51, and has been dating Snow Patrol guitarist Johnny McDaid, 46, since 2013 — said  “I’m not saying there were mushrooms! I definitely wasn’t passing them out.

“[Harry’s] a really nice person.”

She added she had not yet read Spare, but planned to now to after Harry’s anecdote about “gobbling” shrooms at her home has “gotten back” to her.

Harry, 38, admitted having a crush on Courteney in his book and feeling like her Friends on-screen husband Chandler when partying with her and said he wondered if he could work up the “courage” to tell her of his infatuation.

Harry — who shares Archie, three, and 20-month-old Lilibet with his 41-year-old former Suits actor wife Meghan — said: “As a Friends’ fanatic, the idea of crashing at Monica’s house was highly appealing.”

He added about Cox turning up to party: “I was still confused because... she was Monica. And I was a Chandler... I wondered if I’d ever work up the courage to tell her [about his crush].

“Was there enough tequila in California to get me that brave?”

Harry mentioned that an actor, who he did not name, brought him and his friend to Cox's fridge during the bash at her house where they found a stash of “black diamond mushroom chocolates”.

Harry added: “My mate and I grabbed several, gobbled them, washed them down with tequila.”
