TAR star’s husband was jealous -- of her

NORWEGIAN model Sylvia Flote, daughter-in-law of Lib Dem grandee Lord Oakeshott, has made her big-screen debut in the film TAR, as a lover of Cate Blanchett’s character, a classical music conductor.

At the film’s London premiere, Flote (left) tells me her other half, Sigmund Oakeshott, was happy with her casting, because he fancies the Australian actress. ‘My husband was quite proud that I was playing her lesbian lover,’ she says at the bar of Picturehouse Central in London. ‘He’s not even jealous, as he would have loved to have taken my place.’

Flote, 39, adds: ‘Working with Cate is the highlight of any career.’
