She is the Michelin-starred chef known for her tasting menus costing £115 per head, while he's the Brexit campaigner whose pubs serve slap-up dinners that still leave you change from a £10 note. And now Angela Hartnett, owner of Mayfair trattoria Murano, has been accused of 'terrible snobbery' after attacking Tim Martin's Wetherspoon chain for 'destroying' communities. Hartnett, 52, a regular on television shows such as MasterChef and Great British Menu, admires her own fashionable corner of the East End for its variety of international culinary options. 'I live in East London and don't need to leave my doorstep to get great Japanese, great Indian, great fish and chips,' she boasts. 'Restaurants have become very local; people go to their local restaurant.' However, she claims that cut-price pub chains such as Wetherspoon are squeezing independent venues out of existence.

And now Angela Hartnett (right), owner of Mayfair trattoria Murano, has been accused of 'terrible snobbery' after attacking Tim Martin (left)'s Wetherspoon chain for 'destroying' communities 'Pubs are equally as important, and I think pubs are going to suffer far more than restaurants after lockdown because pubs generally were on their way down,' she says. 'Companies like Wetherspoon have destroyed that community — the lovely pub on the corner — and I think they will suffer.' Hartnett, a protegee of Gordon Ramsay, offers such specialities as turbot with moscato veloute and lobster and scallop tortellini at Murano. Her comments have enraged Martin, 66, whose spokesman points out that the UK's 925 Wetherspoon pubs are often the centre of their communities. 'Around 95 per cent of Wetherspoon pubs are outside the Central London area where Angela lives and works,' he says. 'Many of these areas don't have 'great Japanese' on the doorstep and Wetherspoon pubs, as their success indicates, are popular in local communities.' A pub regular says: 'I wonder if Hartnett has ever been to a Wetherspoon? It just sounds like terrible snobbery.' Bill Nighy, who's busy shooting Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro's film Ikiru, is bemused by the relaxation of Covid rules. ' Apparently, we were allowed to cautiously hug,' the actor, 71, says. 'How does one do that? I've never done a cautious hug.' Boris Johnson might have had a jolly time in Cornwall at the G7, but the summit has caused dreadful problems for our broadcasters. Not only did the BBC's Andrew Marr catch Covid, despite having had two doses of the vaccine, but, I hear, its political editor Laura Kuenssberg and Sky's Beth Rigby are having to self-isolate at home. Virus cases in the local area are said to have increased by up to 2,450 per cent since the expensive jamboree. Little Women's Florence wows in a little dress Little Women star Florence Pugh enjoyed wearing a very little dress as she returned to London to promote her new film, Black Widow Little Women star Florence Pugh enjoyed wearing a very little dress as she returned to London to promote her new film, Black Widow. The 25-year-old from Oxford lives in LA with her American actor boyfriend Zach Braff, 46. She shared photos of herself in the 1960s-inspired dress by French designer Casablanca, taken by old friend and photographer Holly Whitaker. 'Holly first took my pictures when I was 18,' she says. 'She knew how my face worked, how to capture a strange dirty moment, how to make me relaxed and have fun.' Wayne Sleep memorably danced with Princess Diana at the Royal Opera House to the Billy Joel song Uptown Girl in 1985, and the ballet star is convinced she would have continued jiving into her seventh decade. 'Most definitely, Diana would still be dancing in her 60s,' Sleep tells me. 'She would still be doing her exercises because it was a way for her to keep well and keep her body trim.' Sleep, 72, who is now giving classes for the over-50s on new lifestyle portal Goldster, adds: 'Not only do I wish we could have any dance together, it's our friendship I miss.' Nigel Havers may still have his looks, pedigree and charm, but the Chariots Of Fire star admits David Beckham has one thing he doesn't — a large luxury car collection. 'In my underground car park in London, Beckham has got his cars next to my slot,' reveals Havers, 69. 'He's got about eight cars, Bentleys and all sorts.' If it's any consolation, the actor's barrister father, Michael, had the one thing Beckham hasn't yet obtained: a knighthood. Freya's gorilla gap year dream While some teenagers are applying for summer jobs at McDonald's, actress Donna Air's model daughter Freya (pictured) is making plans to be reunited with an old friend - a 30st gorilla Freya, 17, finishes school this term and is 'dedicating her life to conservation'. She hopes to visit Africa to see Joshi, a gorilla who was born just a few yards from her childhood home at Kent's Howletts Wild Animal Park While some teenagers are applying for summer jobs at McDonald's, actress Donna Air's model daughter Freya is making plans to be reunited with an old friend. The 17-year-old, who finishes school this term, is 'dedicating her life to conservation' and hopes to visit Africa to see Joshi, a 30st gorilla who was born just a few yards from her childhood home at Kent's Howletts Wild Animal Park. Freya — who travelled with her father, Damian Aspinall — took Joshi to a gorilla orphanage in the Congo earlier this year, so that he could be returned to the wild. 'I feel I can communicate with the animals on some level, and they tend to trust me and accept me in a way they don't usually with humans,' she tells me. 'But this isn't about me, it's about the animals and making sure we understand them, listen to them, and ultimately help them live freely in the wild where they belong.' It could have been a scene from a period drama: Ralph Fiennes was spotted on a punt on the River Cherwell in Oxford at the weekend. He was joined by his old pal, Rev actor Tom Hollander, and a female friend. Fiennes is starring in T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets at the Oxford Playhouse.

Among the guests was Hell's Kitchen star Marco Pierre White's daughter Mirabelle. 'I married my best friend,' Julia says.
