SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE: Mum-to-be Cat shows Jude what he's missing

Jude Law split up with aspiring singer Catherine Harding soon after they conceived a child, but she is determined to show the balding actor what he is missing.

Heavily pregnant Catherine, who goes by the stage name Cat Cavelli, has posed wearing a lacy black bra and sheer nightrobe.

‘Loved doing these shots last week,’ she said online. ‘I will keep the shots forever.’ It is unclear if the shoot was for a magazine or for her personal photo album.

The singer, 23, is understood to have conceived while spending six weeks with The Talented Mr Ripley star, 42, in the Czech Republic last summer.

Jude issued a statement in October saying he was ‘wholeheartedly committed to raising their child’.

He made a similar promise after fathering a daughter, Sophia, in 2009 with model Samantha Burke, then aged 25, but did not meet the child until she was five months old.

 

Liberal Democrat Business Secretary Vince Cable told an annual dinner for the defence and aerospace industries at London’s Hilton Park Lane on Tuesday night that he had recently entered ‘enemy territory’.

He then clarified what he meant by quipping: ‘Well, the posher end of my constituency.’

Might former Labour councillor Cable, MP for Twickenham, feel more at home in Ed Miliband’s party if he must resort to classist jokes like this?

Not according to a Lib Dem source, who tells me: ‘Cable would rather be a big fish in a small pond.’

After the General Election in May, Vince could find himself swimming in a very small pond indeed.

 

New trainer Zara to take the leap

While her husband Mike Tindall attempts to master a ski jump in Channel 4’s reality show The Jump, Zara Phillips will be enjoying a sporting first of her own today. The Queen’s granddaughter is entering her first horse race as a trainer at Bangor races.

Zara, an Olympic medal-winning equestrian, is allowed to enter hunter chases — predominately open to amateurs. Should she seek a professional licence one day, it would prompt the intriguing prospect of her training horses for her turf-mad grandmother.

The nine-year-old nag she is saddling today, Act Of Kalanisi, should do better than Tindall at jumping. Let’s hope Zara makes a success of it so she doesn’t have to flog any more photos of her daughter, Mia, to Hello!

Flatley jigs farewell to UK fans (...again) 

American Irish dancer Michael Flatley, best known for Riverdance and Lord Of The Dance, has announced he is ‘beginning his farewell tour next month’.

‘These will be my final performances in the UK and Ireland,’ he says. ‘After years of punishment, my body just can’t take any more.’

Hang on — when he appeared at the Palladium last September, it was billed as his farewell to London. Now the beggar is having another bite at the cherry.

This is reminiscent of George Best, who kept making ‘farewell’ appearances. The egregious Flatley has been milking this cow remorselessly for more than a year.

Should fans who went to his last farewell demand their money back? Should those going to his next farewell demand a signed affidavit that he will never come clippety-clopping back on stage again?
