Hairdresser to the stars Nicky Clarke appears to be turning into the Katie Hopkins of the beauty world.

Having criticised the Duchess of Cambridge last week for letting a few of her glossy chestnut locks go grey while she was pregnant with Princess Charlotte, outspoken Clarke has now turned his fire on Sir Mick Jagger’s ex-wife, Bianca.

The 57-year-old crimper tells me that he refuses to style the human rights activist’s hair after a terrible experience in the past.

Bianca Jagger looks sophisticated in white earlier this year

‘There are very few people that I say no to, but I won’t ever do Bianca Jagger’s hair again because we did a shoot together once, years ago, and she was just a nightmare,’ he discloses at a party in Mayfair. ‘I shouldn’t have said yes, actually.’

Since divorcing Rolling Stones singer Jagger in 1978, Bianca has become a member of the ‘great and good’, taking on roles for the Council of Europe and Amnesty International.

However, Clarke says the 70-year-old former model was a challenging client. ‘She has a bit of a reputation for being difficult and let’s just say that’s not far off the mark,’ he tells me. ‘But I probably shouldn’t say anything more than that!’

Before she married Jagger in 1971, Bianca was known as a lively party-goer. A friend of pop artist Andy Warhol, she was a regular, in the Seventies and early Eighties, at New York’s louche nightclub Studio 54, which she famously once entered while riding a white horse.

She divorced Jagger, with whom she has a 43-year-old daughter, Jade, on the grounds of his adultery with Texan model Jerry Hall. Bianca later boldly claimed: ‘My marriage ended on my wedding day.’

Three years ago she gave a glimpse of her fiery side when she was involved in an altercation with a theatre critic, Mark Shenton.

He accused her of repeatedly taking flash photographs during a five-hour, abstract opera by Philip Glass. She denied it and accused Shenton of assault — a charge he, in turn, denied.

Bianca could not be reached for comment last night.

The Calais crisis has forced actress Samantha Bond to face up to her secret fear of flying.

The 53-year-old, who played Miss Moneypenny in four James Bond films, usually drives to the South of France for her holiday, but that option, she says, is out. ‘I won’t be able to take the Eurostar and will have to take the plane, and I’m petrified of flying,’ she tells me. Where’s 007 when you need him?

Showtime for Queen's dressmaker

Throwing open the doors of Buckingham Palace for two months to paying visitors is always an important event for the royal finances, but this year’s Summer Opening has an added significance.

Pride of place has been given to outfits made for the Queen by long-serving aide Angela Kelly, who has become one of Her Majesty’s closest confidantes.

‘The prominence of the exhibits is a reflection of the importance that Angela now has in the Royal Household,’ one of her friends tells me. Intriguingly, the outfits are credited to Angela Kelly Couture, and the friend claims she has an eye on developing her business in the future.

Liverpool docker’s daughter Angela, 63, has already set up a firm called Elegant & Regal Ltd, but it has not yet begun trading.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman says: ‘Miss Kelly is happily kept incredibly busy here organising the Queen’s wardrobe and jewellery, designing new dresses and, from time to time, assisting the Royal Collection.’

After giving Tony Blair the green light for the Iraq war when he was Attorney General, Peter Goldsmith went on to find lucrative work with a U.S. law firm. The peer’s son, Ben, seems blessed with similar good fortune.

He has tied the knot with Georgie Hunt, daughter of estate agent Jon, who sold his firm, Foxtons, for £370 million in 2007. ‘We are all delighted,’ Lord Goldsmith tells me.

Oxford graduate Ben, 29, has a six-month-old daughter, India, with Georgie, also 29. The wedding was held at the weekend at her father’s 460-acre Heveningham Hall in Suffolk.
