CATHERINE ZETA-JONES hosted the Walpole British Luxury Awards at The Dorchester last night. She was particular­ly happy to give prizes to Bentley and Jaguar Land Rover.

“I once crashed the car,” she said. “But I was so happy. It gave me the excuse to say ‘See, I should have bought British. I’m getting a Range Rover.’

BENEDICT Cumberbatc­h went to the theatre last night with his wife Sophie Hunter to see Albion at the Almeida in Islington. They so liked the Mike Bartlett play that they went backstage to congratula­te the cast. The run, which ends on Friday, has been acclaimed — star Victoria Hamilton has been nominated for an Evening Standard Theatre Award — so The Londoner anticipate­d a

West End transfer. We hear there are no such plans. Catch it if you can... And I got it. I’ve got a Bentley and a Land Rover. I’m just waiting for the Maclaren and the Aston Martin.”

She confessed to being a petrolhead. “I never played with dolls when I was a kid,” she said. “I played with cars. I’m a bit of a boy like that really.”
