Stuff the staycation — I’d rather be in St Tropez!

I KNOW, I know. Last week, I was cock-a-hoop about my staycation and not facing the hell of summer travel.

This week, after more scorching heat in London, I am capsized with lust and envy at the latest barrage of beachy and breezy celebrity-on-holiday snaps. Why do they torture us so?

In- love Kylie Minogue looking damn glam in a water-taxi in Venice. Actress Sienna Miller in a palm-print Dolce & Gabbana two-piece (above), alighting from a tender to lunch in St Tropez. Model Karlie Kloss on a jet ski at the Faraglioni rocks in Capri. Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster in Italy.

You can practically feel the salty breeze and luxuriate in the whiff of privilege blowing around their tanned calves. And special celebrity plus-points for Beyonce’s six- year- old daughter Blue Ivy, who was pictured in the pool of her parents’ rented yacht in the Med, clutching a mocktail. Go for it, tiny girlfriend!
