Air we go: TV’s Donna joins in with a jumbo-ree!
DONNA AIR declared she wasn’t ‘bothered’ about looking for a boyfriend after the end of longterm relationships with the Duchess of Cambridge’s brother, James Middleton, and wildlife park heir Damian Aspinall. ‘Men take a lot of looking after,’ the actress explained.
Now, however, Donna, 41, seems to have had a change of heart and would consider using dating apps. ‘I’m very openminded to using them,’ she tells me at the launch of illustrator George Butler’s CoExistence exhibition at Mayfair’s Sladmore Contemporary. ‘The way people date has changed.’
The show’s in aid of the Elephant Family, founded by the Duchess of Cornwall’s late brother, Mark Shand. As part of the charity drive, a ‘herd’ of 100 elephant sculptures is on show in London’s Royal Parks.
One of them has been named after Victoria & Albert Museum chairman Nicholas Coleridge. He tells me: ‘I suppose some people might not like the idea of being compared to a large elephant, but I consider it an honour.’
