Hats off to Lily Allen … I think it was the late, great Carrie Fisher who said ‘Take your broken heart and make it art’ and Lily sure did that last night. Amazing show and brilliantly clever stage set. Thanks so much for organising Eleanor 💖 #lilyallen #westendgirl #bppulselive #birmingham

A special Throwback Thursday today as I was so very sad to hear that the gay beach bar Chringay in Ibiza has shut down after 45 years of trading. We had some lovely days there. This is me there in 2004 and Sister Jeff in 2005. Great times🍹 #throwbackthursday #chiringay #beachbar #escavallet #ibiza
