Fashion tycoon John Robinson, who used Kate Middleton before she wed Prince William, has won a three-year battle to host weddings at his Cotswolds estate.

The multi-millionaire creator of style chain Jigsaw needed to overcome objections from residents about noise contamination and overloaded roads. He was given 4 months' notification in 2022 to stop hosting occasions at his ₤ 12 million residential or commercial property, Euridge Manor.

But, after a nine-day public questions, Robinson, 77, has actually been granted consent to continue hosting occasions on the stretching 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged swears with rugby gamer Will Owen.

'Euridge Manor Weddings is thrilled at the grant of preparing permission,' a spokesperson states.

When Robinson bought Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, sheds and three cottages. But the tycoon extended the estate, buying 250 acres of surrounding land, and developing an orangery with two bedrooms and an indoor pool.

He wed now ex-wife Belle at Euridge in 2004. After their divorce in 2014, Robinson signed up business Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated and began hosting ceremonies.

Neighbours grumbled about traffic, music and firework display screens lasting into the small hours and stated the estate did not have authorization for 'modification of usage' in order to host weddings.

After two preparation applications and an appeal, planning permission has now been given based on a variety of conditions to control noise and address highway security issues.

No cut rates for Stella's clan

You may believe the name McCartney would open doors and curry favours - specifically for a relation of Sir Paul.

But comedienne Sophie McCartney, a cousin of the former Beatle, says it doesn't cut any ice with Sir Paul's daughter, designer Stella.

'When I was younger, my Nana took me to Paris due to the fact that I wished to be a designer as I was doing textiles GCSE,' says Sophie.

'We went to drop in Stella. She was at Chloe at the time. I did get some sunglasses and a Chloe [bag] But that's it.

'But no I've never had any Stella McCartney discount.

'I 'd take 25 (percent).'

Lily's friends get a wake-up call as star says she ranks them

Anyone getting unexpected FaceTime calls from Lily Allen for catch-up chats possibly shouldn't feel too honoured or excited - up until they've worked out its period and the interval since the last one.

'I create lists of people who I like in order of how much I like them,' the pop vocalist, 40, reveals. 'I send out that list to my assistant and ask her to schedule the time for me to have FaceTimes with them.'

In March, I exposed that Lily's spouse, Stranger Things star David Harbour, had actually been having an affair with a colleague. 'David cheated on Lily,' an associate informed me. 'They fulfilled on a film they did together.'

Having been a pop star herself in the 1980s and '90s, Cathy Dennis went on to compose hits for Kylie Minogue, with Can't Get You Out Of My Head, Britney Spears (Toxic) and Katy Perry (I Kissed a Woman).

Now, however, she's fed up with composing for others. 'I am made with that,' states Dennis, 56.

'There have actually been lots of [tape-recording] sessions where I've been asked to enter into a box and one day I simply believe, "No, say goodbye to". I will continue to compose, but I am not composing music in the very same way.'

Duckface is a punchy guest

She knocked Hugh Grant's character flat out after being jilted in Four Weddings And A Funeral, and 'duckface' Anna Chancellor is practically as pugnacious in reality.

The actress, 60, confesses she lost her cool at Arizona's Grand Canyon. 'I acted rather badly,' she tells Travel Secrets podcast.

'I scheduled a "1930s cabin" - when I got in there I resembled, "This is s ***". I stated, "You need to move me". I'm capable of kicking up a difficulty.'

The Ritz played a crucial role in King Charles's life when he and Camilla Parker Bowles were imagined leaving the London hotel in 1999 in their very first public appearance together as a couple.

And His Majesty was, I hear, quick to contact us previously this year when The Ritz was awarded great dining's desired distinction.

'I got a good little letter from King Charles, congratulating me on getting 2 Michelin stars,' John Williams, executive chef at The Ritz, informs me at the National Restaurant Awards, where The Ritz was crowned finest in the UK.

GP error? You can blame Lesley!

Opera singer Lesley Garrett was a panellist on ITV's Loose Women for four years, but her other half, retired GP Peter Christian, intervened.

' [It's] the only time he's ever asked me to stop doing something,' she exposes. 'He stated, "At the surgery I have actually got 10 minutes with each client. And eight minutes is taken up with what you've stated the day before. I'm worried I'm going to misdiagnose someone, so please could you stop?'

Tamara still has extremely bad habits!

Former 'It-girl' Tamara Beckwith's wild partying days aren't totally behind her if this picture is anything to pass.

Tamara, 55, went to the costume tenth wedding event anniversary celebration of Sofia Barattieri Weinstein, co-chair of the London Air Ambulance, and her other half, Brian Weinstein, in Sicily at the weekend.

Beckwith can be seen surrounded by fellow partygoers dressed as priests and nuns in these pictures she shared online.

'It was a spectacular example of when good friends demonstrate how much they like their hosts,' says Tamara, who is wed to Italian business person Giorgio Veroni. 'Incredible dresses, head-dresses, naughty lace, brocades and captivated gardens filled with candlelight.'
