Who's the mystery man out for lunch with loved-up Pippa? It's her banker ex-boyfriend Alex Loudon

The Duchess of Cambridge’s sister Pippa Middleton, 32, has been dating Swiss-based stockbroker Nico Jackson for two years, but it seems she can’t get enough of her ex-boyfriends.

The Celebrate author, whose brother James has split from girlfriend Donna Air, was spotted enjoying a lunch in Fulham on Tuesday with banker Alex Loudon, 35, whom she dated for three years before separating in 2011.

Only four days before, she and Nico, 36, were photographed in a tender embrace in North London. Her lunch date also follows recent public forays with her other ex, James Matthews, including holidaying with him at his parents’ resort in the Caribbean.

Nico must be a very understanding beau.

Accessorize like Pippa with a heart print scarf by Beulah London

Pippa Middleton and her sister, the Duchess of Cambridge have definitely been swapping style tips.

Only last week we spotted Kate carrying a heart print scarf by Beulah London with her to the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup and now here's Pippa wearing a similar version for a cozy lunch date with her ex.

Beulah is the brainchild of Lavinia Brennan and Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs, and the Middleton family are firm fans. But they're not the only ones - fellow Brits Kim Murray, Katherine Jenkins, Princess Beatrice, Katie Piper and Lucy Mecklenburgh are all in the club too. Unfortunately this exact style is now sold out, but click (right) to buy Kate's version - which Pippa also owns too!

Thanks to the likes of Saint Laurent and Lanvin, the heart is a hot motif right now, so there are plenty more options out there when it comes to statement accessories. Get a similar print at DVF, Vince, Aqua and Marc Jacobs below.

Fiery chef Marco Pierre White does not suffer fools, or friends, gladly. 

‘Every six months, I delete numbers from my phone,’ he says. ‘If I’m not enriching their lives, and they’re not enriching mine, why should we be in touch?’ 

Presumably he makes an exception for his on/off girlfriend, the actress Emilia Fox.

 

Jemima's tasteless wine joke 

At first glance, it looks like a violent image from Midsomer Murders. In fact, it’s heiress Jemima Goldsmith larking about for the amusement of her social media followers.

Jemima, 41, suffered what she describes as a ‘red wine incident’ at her home in West London this week after vino was splattered across her floor. 

While most of us would despair just at the thought of a goblet of rouge seeping into a cream carpet, she chose not to let the opportunity go to waste by turning it into a playful Cluedo-style murder scene.

Presumably, the unlucky-in-love socialite — currently unattached — has to make her own fun.

Excitement at the Cavalry and Guards Club in London’s Piccadilly. 

Members have been invited this weekend to appear as extras in Brad Pitt’s new movie, which is currently being shot in London. 

Producers require 200 ‘senior people’ to appear in a dinner scene being filmed at Lancaster House, which will be doubling as the Paris Ritz. ‘Pretty much anyone from the club who wants a part will get it,’ reads a club notice.

 

Amal's mum gets cosy with Castro 

George Clooney’s beguiling wife Amal isn’t the first woman in her family to win over a world- famous fella.

Amal’s mother Baria Alamuddin, foreign editor of the Arabic newspaper Al Hayat, has interviewed political leaders from Bill Clinton to Tony Blair during her lengthy journalistic career, but reveals she was particularly smitten with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, who is said to have slept with more than 35,000 women.

‘I was fortunate enough to go to Cuba and interview Fidel Castro,’ recalls Baria. ‘Although I was promised ten minutes, I got about two-and-a-half hours of being with him. He was totally charming, and he spoke so quickly I could hardly catch my breath.’
