Where do the celeb boys sleep in Sussex? And who’s the best daddy? It’s Celebcity with Jo Brooks
This week’s showbiz update is all about the male celebrity. Firstly to a hotel in Sussex who where a fair few male celebs have been staying over of late. The Felbridge Hotel and Spa, in East Grinstead – just a short drive up the M23, is fast becoming the celeb hotel of choice in West Sussex. In the last six months alone the hotel has played host to Dr Who actor David Tennant, Men Behaving Badly star Martin Clunes and just two weeks ago, Ant and Dec.
The comedy duo, I’m told, shared a room (pictured) while attending a wedding nearby and made time to stop and chat to guests staying in the hotel and even made a two-year-old howl with laughter in reception!
Sunday super stars
Stars of the new series of the Sunday Night Project, Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr were also guests just last week – the pair stayed over whilst filming alongside opening celebrity guest presenters, Katie Price and Peter Andre. Katie looked sparkling on the show later having been spotted spending a couple of hours being preened by the Lanes Health and Beauty.
Daddy dearest
Talking of the lovely Mr Andre, the Aussie singer has just been voted ‘Dad of the Year’ in a survey of UK mums. Peter, 35, has son Junior two, and daughter Princess Tiaamii, 11 months, with his wife Katie Price, 30. He is also step dad to Harvey, 6, from Jordan’s relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke.
Peter, I’m told, is chuffed about topping the Daddy’s Sauce survey and says he is, “not even halfway there“ when it comes to having more kids. “For the last couple of years I’ve been saying that if there’s any kind of award, I could win it would be dad of the year,“ he says. “I’m over the moon.“
