Also in attendance were the tailor Ozwald Boateng OBE, the society fixer Liz Brewer, the magician and illusionist Uri Geller and the former MP Lembit Öpik.

Beware of the bitches; bitches beware
Matthew Steeples reviews Steven Berkoff’s first novel: ‘Sod the bitches!’ whilst the author shares his take on it in a video exclusive
Russian rubbish
We’d rather not ‘Meet The Russians’ Whilst Made in Chelsea is harmless nonsense and The Only Way Is Essex car crash viewing, the plethora of similar shows that have followed are surely just indicative of the new lows British television has arrived at.
Sponsored by VII Hills Gin and Imbibe Drinks and organised by Matthew Steeples, the event featured a Sod the Bitches! inspired cocktail made with asparagus by Alejandro Flores and Pablo Salcedo of La Brasserie and canapés by the restaurant’s head chef John Paul Murphy.

Really wished I could have been there but training racehorses in Paris meant I had to work. Well done Mathew for what looked like a very successful party.
