THE CHELSEA COLLECTORS

I spent the first hour of the day collecting for the charity at the Chelsea Flower Show; always good for the soul to see how generous many people are.  Fascinating also to see the people who you thunk would give and sometimes know walk by transfixed by something over the horizon.  Never mind despite yesterdays down pour the collectors have done well, all supported by a fine background crew who were counting organising or just brewing tea.  The Pensioners did us proud once more.  I was able to have a chat with good old Baxterbear who tried to hug me, but I saw it coming and ran!  He has done us really well as our mascot at Chelsea and was a welcome addition to our crew.  Well done all those collectors including Robin Bacon who collected £480 this afternoon.  


Brian McFadden steps out for first time with new girlfriend, Irish reality TV star Vogue Williams

New love: Brian McFadden and Irish reality star Vogue Williams walk through Sydney Airport yesterday

He must have been heartbroken when pictures emerged of ex-girlfriend Delta Goodrem and rumoured new boyfriend Nick Jonas earlier this month.

But now Brian McFadden appears to have put any feelings he may have had about his former relationship behind him by stepping out with his new girlfriend, the Irish reality TV star Vogue Williams.

The pair were photographed looking happy and loved-up as they made their way through Sydney Airport after arriving in Australia, where Brian is a judge on Australia's Got Talent.

Vogue, a DJ who shot to fame after starring in reality show called Fade Street, the Irish equivalent of The Hills, looked stunning in a simple yet stylish white shirt and blue jeans combination, teamed with a pair of brown wedge boots as she pulled along her suitcase.

Asked if she was enjoying Australia, Vogue told The Sunday Telegraph: 'I'm loving it here. It’s great and I'm seeing little bits of Australia.'

Meanwhile, Brian, who has two children with reality TV star Kerry Katona, looked trendy in jeans, denim shirt and pair of aviator sunglasses.


Keeping their heads down: The pair were first romantically linked at the end of April when they were spotted together at a club in Donegal


Brian and Vogue were first romantically linked on 29th April when the former Westlife star watched Vogue's set at a nightclub in Donegal, Ireland. And the DJ bears a striking resemblance to the star's former wife-to-be Delta.

It was reported that after their night out, the pair checked into a local hotel for the evening.

Brian split from fiancée Delta at the beginning of April, when the pair announced their mutual separation ending their engagement.

After the break-up, Brian posted on his Twitter page: 'I love Delta and always will. She is one of God's living angels.

'I thank her for giving me the best years of my life. Please give us time x’
And, after seeing pictures of Delta and Nick Jonas out earlier this month, Brian said he was happy for his ex-girlfriend.

He said: 'She looks happy. If she's happy, I don't mind. But there's a warning from me: If anyone hurts her they're dead.'

Vogue is a big star in her native Ireland thanks to her role in RTE reality show Fade Street, which follows a group of four girls living in Dublin.

However, in a recent interview, Vogue admitted she was slightly dubious about the programme at first.

She said: 'I thought it was going to be a bit like The Hills and that made me wary. I thought I would become an easy target, being on a show like that, and I really didn't want to come across like an idiot

Celebrity: Vogue is a big celebrity in her native Ireland, and is often seen attending various red carpet events


'I was really worried about it at first. But then I just thought if I didn't do it I would seriously regret it. It really was a big opportunity.'

And Vogue added she was very nervous about how she would come across on screen.

She said: 'I was really worried about how I was going to come across but I was actually really happy with everyone's reaction. Honestly, I was just being myself. I really liked all the people I was working with.

'At the start I was a little bit uncomfortable, I mightn't have shown that on screen. Sometimes I'd go home and think "Oh my God, I've no idea what I said today", because you do forget that the cameras are on you. But it was easy towards the end.'


Moving on: Brian split from fiancée Delta Goodrem last month. A few weeks later, she was seen out hand-in-hand with Nick Jonas

Heavy night was it? Katie Price's recycling boxes reveal the excess of her fancy dress party

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Party girl: Katie Price and her boyfriend Leandro Penna leave her friend Gary Cochrane's house in London


Her reputation for excessive partying has already been cemented with years of service on the club scene.

So it's no surprise that Katie Price's 33rd birthday party appeared to be suitably boozy - as revealed by the contents of her recycling box.

The glamour model celebrated at the weekend with a star-packed fancy dress bash and the boxes were a tell-tale sign of the night's events, full to the brim with empty bottles.



Heading home: The model and her Argentinian beau leave London for her Sussex base


Four of the plastic bins were filled with bottles, which included vodka, champagne and Stella Artois lager.

Guests at the party, held at her sprawling Sussex home, got dressed up in a variety of fancy dress outfits.

Those on the guestlist included Katie's good friends Michelle Heaton and TOWIE star Lauren Pope.


Message in a bottle: The recycling bins outside Miss Price's Sussex home are a tell-tale sign of the excess at her 33rd birthday party


To counter what was undoubtedly an unhealthy weekend, the model took delivery of some fresh organic vegetables from Abel & Cole yesterday.

According to one report, in Now magazine, the model has been on a strict diet set out for her by friend Michelle Heaton, who is now a qualified fitness instructor.

The article claims Miss Price is on a diet of salmon, egg whites, nuts and avocados to help combat wrinkles by boosting the collagen in her skin.


Health kick: The model counteracted the weekend's activities with a delivery of organic fruit and veg


Earlier this week she unveiled her new tattoo while on a night out with her Argentinian beau Leandro Penna.

Until recently she has kept the new tattoo hidden beneath bandages and long sleeved jumpers since her return from Argentina.

Despite splitting from Peter Andre two years ago, it took Price until recently to finally rid herself of her ex-husband's name completely.


Diet advice: According to one report former Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton has given Miss Price a strict diet regime


Fancy dress: The Only Way Is Essex stars Lauren Pope and her boyfriend Kirk Norcross were among guests at Katie's party


Just a month after their split in 2009, she had a crude cross etched over his name during her infamous post break-up holiday in Ibiza.

Then Katie was pictured getting a new inking during her trip to Argentina earlier this month.

While Katie left Peter's name clearly visible beneath a crude cross for almost two years throughout her marriage to Alex Reid, it appears her new love has inspired her to finally move on.
