David Cameron weight-loss rumor dominates celebrity gossip column
Former prime minister surrounded by conflicting weight-loss claims as other culture and entertainment notes surface
David Cameron is the subject of this week’s celebrity gossip, with conflicting claims about his weight loss circulating in media columns. In Eden Confidential, a friend is quoted as saying he has shed four stone, while another confidant counters that the loss is closer to a stone and a half. A Cameron spokesman declined to comment, saying the matter is personal.
The chatter taps into Cameron’s long‑standing scrutiny of his weight, including past efforts before the 2015 election. The column notes Cameron has eaten at Mayfair’s Scott’s, a restaurant known for lavish lunches, and adds that some associates speculate he may have pursued weight‑loss treatments, though specifics are not confirmed. A photograph from a 2019 holiday is cited in the piece, and the tabloid‑style narrative hints at quiet time with the Chipping Norton set, without presenting any firm conclusions.
Beyond the Cameron chatter, the culture and entertainment notes in the same roundup touch on various personalities. Joss Stone discussed relocating with Prince Harry during his recent visit, saying she has returned to Devon from Nashville with her American husband Cody DaLuz so their eldest child can attend school there. Stone also described encounters with cicadas in the United States, calling one incident in her car horrific.
Sarah Symonds, who has described herself as a former mistress of Ross King — the Scottish television presenter nicknamed “Mr Sequins” — says she cannot watch the new series of Strictly Come Dancing because of his involvement, recalling memories of their time together and his signature blue mint mouthwash kept in a crystal decanter, among other anecdotes.
Cara Delevingne posted a photo of herself wearing a humidifier face‑mask in bed, alongside a head therapy wrap, as part of what she described as a wellness journey. She wrote, “Music, music, sleep, repeat.” The 33‑year‑old model has spoken publicly in the past about being gentler with herself as she pursues balance.
Two years after she advertised for a programme manager to help organise her busy workload, Princess Anne has renewed the search for a new appointment. The pay has risen in that time, from £32,500 a year to £38,000, with the royal website outlining the role as ensuring every engagement runs seamlessly and reflecting the dignity and purpose of the Princess Royal’s patronages and military affiliations.
In a separate royal‑world note, Alan Rusbridger, the outgoing editor of Prospect, was criticized by a former colleague at the left‑wing monthly who argued Prospect has become “flat and predictable” and lacks breadth, a jab that echoes ongoing debates about editorial direction in British media.
On the entertainment front, photographer Steve Shaw describes the challenges of keeping gatecrashers out of private events for Hollywood types. He recalled an incident where intruders tried to pose with host Ryan Seacrest, adding that Seacrest reacted with frustration and guests were quickly removed.
