Dizzee raps his Virgin heir friend after he posted 'insensitive' joke about President Obama on Twitter, writes SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE

Sir Richard Branson’s well-connected son, Sam, has upset friend and rapper Dizzee Rascal.

Branson Jr posted a mocked-up picture of Donald Trump sitting behind the Oval Office desk at the White House with the slogan: ‘First time in history that a billionaire moves into public housing vacated by a black family’.

Dizzee, whose fans include Princes William and Harry, commented underneath: ‘Mate, I’ve known you a long time and I know you mean well but this looks a bit nuts coming from you.’

The ‘joke’ was also criticised by 31-year-old Sam’s followers as ‘insensitive’.

Father-of-one Sam, who is married to Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, swiftly deleted the picture and replaced it with something less contentious.

 

Comedian Jennifer Saunders, creator of Absolutely Fabulous, has been spotted looking more drab than fab.

As this picture shared by her daughter Beattie Edmondson shows, the 58-year-old has devised her own set of bifocals. She wears two pairs to use her phone.

Last year, Saunders told me she was considering eye surgery. ‘Joanna Lumley’s had her whole corneas replaced and I’m considering it now,’ she said.

‘It makes me so cross because in all the script readings with us oldies, she’s the only one that doesn’t have to reach for her spectacles.

‘I’m like, “Damn you Joanna, damn you.” ’

At the age of 81, Mary Berry is to become a ‘trolley dolly’.

The Great British Bake Off’s former judge will be serving the teas on a special Belmond British Pullman railway journey next year.

The company says passengers can enjoy a ‘special afternoon tea experience with Britain’s national treasure’.

The 1920s train will travel from London Victoria station to an unnamed countryside destination as they are served some of Mary’s favourite creations, including cherry and almond tart, strawberry mille-feuille, opera slice and baked scones.

Belmond adds that passengers will ‘spend time with Mary hearing about her award-winning career whilst picking up some baking tips’.

And at £275 per person, the cake should be good.

 

Johnny Depp’s actress daughter Lily-Rose might have inherited her father’s thespian genes, but it appears she hasn’t quite mastered the natural elegance of her French mother, model and actress Vanessa Paradis.

The 17-year-old was caught in a very unflattering pose while walking the red carpet this week in Paris, where she was promoting her new film Planetarium, in which she plays a medium in pre-war France alongside Hollywood star Natalie Portman.

Standing with her legs apart, Lily-Rose, whose parents split up in 2012 after 14 years together, clumsily hoisted up her black skinny jeans, which she teamed with an eye-catching sparkly gold top, matching gold stilettos and a Chanel cropped tuxedo-style jacket.

Next time you’re at the supermarket, don’t be alarmed if a vivacious brunette with a familiar face runs up and embraces you: it will be Big Brother host Davina McCall. ‘I love meeting people,’ she declares. ‘I’ll give them a kiss or a hug. I spend most of my supermarket shopping trips just walking from aisle to aisle hugging people.’

 

He’s smooth, suave and sophisticated, but Sir Roger Moore reveals he is an unlikely fan of downmarket sitcom Mrs Brown’s Boys.

‘My wife thinks I’m disgusting, but I love Mrs Brown’s Boys,’ says Monaco-based Moore, 89, who is about to embark on a new one-man tour.

‘It appeals to me because I have a filthy mind.’

Meanwhile, though he professes to be a fan of current Bond Daniel Craig, Moore (6ft 1in) declares that the next 007 needs to be a taller man.

‘I think it has to be anyone over 6 ft,’he says. ‘I think Aidan Turner would make a very good Bond. Tom Hiddleston would do a very good job as well.’

Turner is 6 ft and Hiddleston 6 ft 2 in, but Craig is a mere 5 ft 10 in.
