Victoria star Lily reveals secret snaffling

VICTORIA star Lily Travers proved an intriguing newcomer to the drama when her character, the Duchess of Monmouth, right, embarked on an illicit affair with a footman.

In real life, the beguiling blonde is just as happy bending the rules.

‘I stole something from the set. I thought nobody would notice,’ the 28-year-old, whose grandmother is Olivier award winner Virginia McKenna, tells me at a party in Mayfair.

‘We did a big ball scene and everybody had dance cards that you put on your wrist and sign people’s names on you’re going to dance with. Everybody had one. So I stole that.

‘Nobody noticed I took it, so I got away with it.

‘I might give it to my cousin, she’s eight and she watches the show.’
