Poppy Delevingne is pioneering a different type of holiday.
The actress and model, 38, took what she described as her ‘girl gang’ on a two-day trip to the Spanish party island of Ibiza.
She was joined by Victoria’s Secret mannequin Jessica Clarke, 31, King Charles’s goddaughter Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark, 27, Mexican actress Eiza Gonzalez, 34, and TV presenter Poppy Jamie, 33. ‘Coconuts, sunshine, and a few spider bites later,’ says Delevingne.

James May says his 21-year screen partnership with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond has come to an end, after finishing work on the final episode of The Grand Tour.
‘My greatest remaining ambition is to get to the end of my life without running over anybody,’ the 61-year-old star, nicknamed Captain Slow, says.

Jude Law, who sold his house in Highgate for £13 million in 2022, is struggling to make his new London property feel like home.

‘The loops and hoops I’ve got to jump through is always at the back of my head.’
