can often be spotted in the pub.
But this week, she’s been working in one, rather than falling out of one.
The model and actress visited the Royal Vauxhall Tavern – one of London’s oldest and most treasured LGBT venues – to record a show called Planet Sex.
And the visit might even have inspired the star to get into drag.
Openly bisexual Cara, 29, snuck in to the venue to interview members of the queer community as part of her six-part investigation into human sexuality.
An insider reveals: “The Royal Vauxhall Tavern – affectionately known as the RVT – is famous for being very inclusive.

thrilled to visit such an iconic venue in a professional capacity and learn more about its history as she’s had a few nights out there herself in the past. Since landing the presenting gig, which is somewhat out of her comfort zone, Cara has been learning more about those who are playing with gender as part of their art and performances.
“It’s inspired her to incorporate more gender-bending elements into her own work. She might even be getting into drag herself.”

Cara happily posed for pictures with pub staff while filming the programme, which will be shown on BBC3, in partnership with Hulu.
She even snuggled up for a snap with pub manager James, who recently booked Sugababe Mutya Buena to perform.
The RVT is where Princess Diana famously partied with Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in the 80s and Cara is described on the pub’s social media pages as a “friend of the tavern”.
That’s official then. She’s got so many friends – and the list now includes pubs.
