Bookies suspended all bets on who will be the next James Bond, after Tom Hiddleston, 35, was spotted rubbing shoulders with Bond director Sam Mendes at Soho House in London

Is Tom Hiddleston getting in training for his new role as 007?

Bookies suspended all bets on who will be the next James Bond, after he was spotted rubbing shoulders with Bond director Sam Mendes at Soho House in London.

Now Hiddleston, 35, has taken to jogging round Regent’s Park incognito in a blue baseball cap and earphones.

Unlike his alter ego in The Night Manager, who had no compunction about stripping off when he went out running, Tom is keeping his torso - and his latest mission - very much under wraps.

So much for her loyalty to the BBC.

Claudia Winkleman, who is believed to be paid £525,000 per annum for presenting Strictly, says she would stay with the programme - even if it was poached by ITV: ‘I think it’s right that ITV can bid for Strictly as part of competitive tendering, but I don’t know what will happen.

' Would I move? I will follow the [Spanish dance] pasodoble!’

In other words, follow the money.

Unlucky in love Sadie: I hate being alone

Twice-divorced Sadie Frost has never been lucky in love and the designer admits she struggles with modern dating since turning 50 last year.

Sadie, who married Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp at 22 and Jude Law in 1997, says: ‘In this day and age, it seems impossible to meet people or to find a new partner unless you do it through online dating - especially with London being so incestuous with its inner circles and all!

‘We’re becoming more and more like the U.S. in our dating ways - a society where it’s acceptable to date more than one person at the same time.

And when we say date, what does that actually mean? A dinner? A casual kiss? Or going the whole way between the sheets?’

The mum-of-four, who split from stylist Marcus Love last year after just two months, continues: ‘And if you see more than one person at the same time, does that make you a floozie?

‘Being a single mother, I know there can be certain prejudices on how I operate in the dating arena, but for a man it is completely acceptable to do whatever they like. Having said that, who says it’s acceptable?

‘My kids give me a hard time vetting my dates and convincing me to spend more time on my own. But, to be honest, I just don’t like it!’

Might her distrust of online dating explain why she has returned to her old boyfriend, multi-millionaire mobile phone boss Darren Strowger, whom she courted prior to Marcus Love?

'Partners in crime': Sienna Miller and her big sister

Strutting down a red carpet or dazzling audiences on screen, Sienna Miller has already proved she knows how to work a camera.

However, it turns out the 34-year-old mastered posing for a picture long ago. Her older sister, fashion designer Savannah, shared this picture online in which a doe-eyed Sienna looks adorable with blonde ringlets.

Savannah, now 37, plays the protective sibling as she wraps her arms around her.

Speaking recently about their relationship, she said: ‘There is no rivalry between us at all. We are incredibly close.

'Our parents got divorced when we were young. We were shipped about a bit.

'The thing that was consistent was “us”. We are partners in crime.’
