Blair gives Kate Hudson a lift

Tony Blair joined actor Sylvester Stallone in lifting actress Kate Hudson into the air at a party in Los Angeles.

The former prime minister smiled as he held Hudson’s arms, while Stallone took her feet.

Two shirtless Cirque du Soleil acrobats stood between Mr Blair and Stallone. Hudson posted the image on Instagram, writing: “Don’t really know how this happened . . . but it did!”
