Fashion magnate John Robinson, who used Kate Middleton before she wed Prince William, has actually won a three-year fight to host wedding events at his Cotswolds estate.

The multi-millionaire founder of fashion chain Jigsaw had to get rid of objections from residents about sound contamination and congested roadways. He was provided four months' notice in 2022 to stop hosting occasions at his ₤ 12 million residential or commercial property, Euridge Manor.

But, after a nine-day public inquiry, Robinson, 77, has actually been approved authorization to continue hosting occasions on the sprawling 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged promises with rugby player Will Owen.

'Euridge Manor Weddings is happy at the grant of planning permission,' a spokesman states.

When Robinson bought Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, sheds and 3 cottages. But the tycoon extended the estate, purchasing 250 acres of surrounding land, and constructing an orangery with two bedrooms and an indoor swimming pool.

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

Neighbours grumbled about traffic, music and firework display screens lasting into the little hours and said the estate did not have permission for 'change of usage' in order to host weddings.

After two planning applications and an appeal, planning authorization has now been approved subject to a variety of conditions to control noise and address highway security issues.

No cut costs for Stella's clan

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

But comedienne Sophie McCartney, a cousin of the previous 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 because I wished to be a style designer as I was doing fabrics GCSE,' says Sophie.

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

'But no I have actually never had any Stella McCartney discount.

'I 'd take 25 (per cent).'

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

Anyone getting unforeseen FaceTime calls from Lily Allen for catch-up talks perhaps should not feel too honoured or thrilled - till they've worked out its duration and the interval because the last one.

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 writing for others. 'I am finished with that,' says Dennis, 56.

'There have actually been many [taping] sessions where I have actually been asked to enter a box and one day I just believe, "No, no more". I will continue to write, but I am not writing music in the very same way.'

Duckface is a punchy visitor

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

The starlet, 60, confesses she lost her cool at Arizona's Grand Canyon. 'I acted quite badly,' she informs Travel Secrets podcast.

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

' [It's] the only time he's ever asked me to stop doing something,' she exposes. 'He stated, "At the surgery I've got ten minutes with each client. And 8 minutes is taken up with what you have actually stated the day previously. I'm anxious I'm going to misdiagnose someone, so please could you stop?'
