Fashion magnate John Robinson, who employed 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 fashion chain Jigsaw had to overcome objections from residents about sound contamination and busy roads. He was given four months' notification in 2022 to stop hosting events at his ₤ 12 million residential or commercial property, Euridge Manor.

But, after a nine-day public query, Robinson, 77, has been granted authorization to continue hosting events on the stretching 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged promises with rugby player Will Owen.

'Euridge Manor Weddings is delighted at the grant of preparing approval,' a spokesman states.

When Robinson bought Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, outbuildings and three cottages. But the tycoon extended the estate, purchasing 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 company Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated and started hosting ceremonies.

Neighbours complained about traffic, music and firework screens lasting into the small hours and stated the estate did not have approval for 'modification of usage' in order to host wedding events.

After 2 planning applications and an appeal, preparing consent has now been granted based on a variety of conditions to manage noise and address highway safety issues.

No cut costs for Stella's clan

You may believe the name McCartney would open doors and curry favours - particularly 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 child, designer Stella.

'When I was more youthful, my Nana took me to Paris since I wished to be a fashion designer as I was doing fabrics GCSE,' states 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 have actually never had any Stella McCartney discount rate.

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

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

Anyone getting unforeseen FaceTime calls from Lily Allen for catch-up chats perhaps should not feel too honoured or delighted - up until they've worked out its period and the period since the last one.

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

In March, I revealed that Lily's spouse, Stranger Things star David Harbour, had actually been having an affair with a coworker. 'David cheated on Lily,' an associate told me. 'They fulfilled on a motion picture 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 Lady).

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

'There have been lots of [tape-recording] sessions where I've been asked to enter a box and one day I just think, "No, no more". I will continue to write, however I am not writing music in the exact 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 rather terribly,' she informs Travel Secrets podcast.

'I booked a "1930s cabin" - when I got in there I resembled, "This is s ***". I stated, "You need to transfer me". I can kicking up a hassle.'

GP error? You can blame Lesley!

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

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