Twiggy sticks her neck out

DAME Twiggy Lawson has adopted a baby giraffe in Kenya called… Twiggy. But her neighbours needn’t worry – she won’t be bringing the animal back to the UK, she’s just sponsoring it. As a thank-you she receives regular updates and a monthly painting. The 73-year-old 1960s icon tells me she loves London Zoo and she’s been designing T-shirts for the Zoological Society with her daughter Carly to help stop animal extinction. She says penguins are her favourite. ‘I love watching them swim and waddle around,’ she enthuses. Wonder if she knows that one of the penguins is named after Lorraine Kelly?
