Ruby Wax has revealed that Imelda Marcos' famous shoe collection is made up of cheap shoes.

The outspoken comedian told Female First exclusively that 's shoe collection was 'cheap and junky'.

"She began her new collection when I met her," said Ruby, who interviewed the former Phillipine first lady, "They were really cheap, you know the kind you get at WalMart? What's that called here, Asda?"

"So you too could have 10,000 for $29.99. They were gross. So her country wasn't starving because of her shoes," she added.

In 2001 Imelda opened The Marikina City Footwear Museum in Manila which contains hundreds of pairs of shoes, many of them found in the presidential palace when she and her husband, President Ferdinand Marcos, fled the Philippines in 1986.
