SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE: Poldark star Heida Reed's new role will be a bride-to-be - after her American boyfriend pops the question

Heida Reed plays Ross Poldark’s first love in the hit TV series, but breaks his heart by marrying his cousin.

Off screen, however, the actress’s romantic life has a much happier ending. For I can reveal that the Icelandic-born beauty, 29, has become engaged to her hunky American boyfriend, producer and actor 31-year-old Sam Ritzenberg.

The couple, who have been dating since last year, confirmed the news on social media, and Heida says of Sam: ‘That’s my fiancé!’ Heida flew her betrothed to meet her family in Iceland last September.‘

‘He’s just started watching the first series, but he keeps watching it before bed so he always falls asleep.’

The perky 19-year-old — whose tempestuous relationship with Made In Chelsea love-rat Alex Mytton recently resulted in their arguing outside a London nightclub — has the words ‘Not yours’ inscribed at the top of her right buttock
Classy, eh?

The UK’s last Eurovision triumph in 1997 with Katrina & The Waves cost the nation dear. Peter Salmon, the former BBC boss and husband of actress Sarah Lancashire, was responsible for staging the show the following year: ‘We went to Birmingham and it stripped £7million out of the BBC One schedule money — I had to play Blankety Blank on a loop that summer!’

 

Members of the Lords have been told to wear their security passes, or be stopped for questioning. Lord Fowler, Speaker of the Upper House, told peers it would no longer be acceptable for them to swan about without their passes being visible. 

‘Individuals failing to display a pass are liable to be challenged,’ Fowler told the House. Given the pomposity of some of the House’s occupants, you have to feel sympathy for the security guards.
