The Londoner: Lockdown didn’t slow us down, says sex club founder

Meggie Foster, the viral TikToker, has been talking to US-based fellow lip-sync star Sarah Cooper. “We both got mentioned in Vogue and I was like ‘oh my god, Vogue,’” Foster said. She then contacted Cooper on social media. Whatever happens in the US election, could we see another a transatlantic crossover?

Stars join smackdown at the Groucho in aid of the NHS

Just before the new lockdown — one final event. Sadie Frost and singer Collette Cooper made it down to the Groucho last night for a screening of the Intensive Care Society’s Keep Fighting video. The charity is spoofing an American video made during the first lockdown that showed “fights” between celebrities. It aims to donate £1 million to NHS intensive care staff. Actors Olivia Williams and Sophia Myles also made the occasion. The gloves are off.

Ballerina Francesca Hayward didn’t have the greatest first lockdown. She and her partner Cesar Corrales tried to do pliés in a one-bedroom flat: “We had to fold up the sofa and still didn’t have enough space. I was holding on to the counter and we were kicking each other. It was frustrating.” But with a second lockdown looming, the Cats star is still looking to the future, telling Grazia she wants to do more acting but this time, “I’d like to play a human.”

Still, it was a better showing than either Labour or the Lib Dems, neither of whom picked up the phone. British politics on hold.

Nigel Farage unsurprisingly told us yesterday he thought Donald Trump would win, but when we asked about whether he planned on getting Trump a celebratory or commiseratory gift, Farage replied: “The last gift I gave him was the Brexit 50p coin.” Well, billionaires are notoriously hard to buy for.
