“It’s grotesque. I think it’s like looking at something out of the dark ages when a woman leaves her house with her hand in that contorted position. That ring says handcuffs to me” Broadcaster Janet Street-Porter on the £250,000 engagement ring, pictured above, given to Pippa Middleton by fiance James Matthews

“The problem is, the better you are, the worse an actor you seem” Oscar-winning ctor Sir Michael Caine makes an enigmatic point
