You won’t BELIEVE what they tell me!

‘I have no plans to go to space but I’m going to take all the astronauts up. I’m literally the mother ship! The Galactic ship has two side things and one in the middle – I’m in the middle piloting and then I press the button and off they go into space.’

Eve Branson, 89, mother of Virgin mogul Richard, tells me at the British Polo Day that she plans to ‘pilot’ her son’s Virgin Galactic ships into space. Sounds to me like she just presses a

button. But then I’m no pilot, while Eve actually is qualified to fly gliders.

. I’ve seen Debbie perform a few times before and I’m relieved to see she’s got her act together tonight. She can be all over the place sometimes.

The majority of guests were thrilled with Debbie Harry’s

performanc­e at last week’s Virgin Atlantic launch of its new uniforms, but

Mark Ronson let slip he’s not her biggest fan. My money’s on Belgium to win the World Cup. I put £200 on them before the tournament. If I win, I’ll get £4,000. I’ll put the money towards my children’s tuition fees. I doubt Laurence Fox’s wife, actress Billie Piper, will be happy to hear that while she’s earning a living starring in Great Britain at the National Theatre,

her husband has been gambling with their children’s future – and lost. I would like to write a really honest book about motherhood one day. This morning she pooped through the nappy on to my clothes and on to my lap. People just don’t prepare you for that. Heiress Tamara Ecclestone shared a

more memorable experience as a mother to four-month-old Sophia at a Formula 1 party last week. I dread to think what further details

her book could divulge. You surely can’t drink that much, smoke that much, run around the country like he does and not risk dropping dead sometime soon.

After growing close to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher

during her final years, it seems MP Conor Burns has developed rather an ominous outlook on life, particular­ly when it comes to the future of Ukip leader Nigel Farage.
