SUZY Eddie Izzard has shared a photo with an iconic rockstar after a run-in in London.
The comedian and actor, 63, spent the evening with the Led Zeppelin guitarist discussing another legend, the late Jeff Beck.
“Met Jimmy Page in London today, at the bottom of Wardour Street. Had a wonderful chat with him about the late great Jeff Beck.
“Their amazing guitar improvisations inspired many to try to follow in their footsteps,” they wrote alongside the pic, which they posted on Instagram.
Snapping a selfie on the street, the pair were seen grinning as they wrapped up in coats, with Eddie wearing pink lipstick with sunglasses on her head while Jimmy, 81, kept a low profile in a coat.
Commuters and pub-dwellers are seen walking by the pair, totally oblivious to who they were.
Jimmy Page is recognised as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, forming Led Zeppelin in 1968 after the break-up of his previous band, The Yardbirds.
He has been inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame twice for both bands, and regularly appears on lists of the most influential musicians of all time.
He is best known for his iconic riffs, with Slash, Brian May, Eddie Van Halen and Joe Perry all crediting him as an influence in their own music.
Izzard is currently touring the world in a one-person performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
The actor, who first found fame as a stand-up comedian, will be continuing their latest stint of the world tour in San Francisco in April.
The show will then go to Seattle before coming to the UK, starting at the Trinity Theatre at Royal Tunbridge Wells in September.
They will then perform across the country across the following month-and-a-half, ending with a show at London’s Cadogan Hall on November 5th.
Izzard goes by both names of Suzy and Eddie and uses a combination of she/her and he/him pronouns after identifying a gender-fluid.
The star has previously explained they knew they were trans from the age of five, but is happy to be referred to as both Eddie and Suzy, acknowledging Eddie is the more recognised name associated with their work.
CHELTENHAM Festival is back with a bang, and racegoers have pulled out all the fashion stops for the event.
Royalty and A-listers alike have dressed to the nines to kickstart the iconic festival, with Zara Tindall and newly married Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo leading the fashion pack.
Around 250,000 Cheltenham fans are expected to flock to the famous Gloucestershire racecourse for the four-day racing event.
While many opted for their chicest tweed ensembles, others have opted to spice their look up with feather-adorned fascinators and daring heels.
As well as sipping champagne and watching the horses, there has also been the chance for attendees to celeb-spot too.
Princess Anne’s daughter Zara, 43, looked smart in a navy coat and dress, with a bright yellow headpiece stealing the show.
Meanwhile, Toff looked bridal in a white tweed two-piece from Julia Wade and patent leather boots from Yves Saint Laurent.
TV beauty Georgia and Brewdog founder James Watt secretly tied the knot in Aberdeenshire and guests received just 48 hours’ notice.
Last year saw a change to the historic Ladies Day – which is taking place tomorrow – with the day being rebranded as Style Wednesday.
While the day typically saw guests, celebrities and royalty alike show off their high fashion ensembles, the event is now open to both men and women.
The Cheltenham awards panel also included a new ‘slow fashion’ awards ceremony, which included vintage outfits, or those put together from charity shops or online resellers.
Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, Cheltenham racecourse has hosted racing since 1815 and is one of the highlights in the racing calendar.
This year the Cheltenham Festival started on Tuesday March 11 and will run until Friday March 14.
Today is known as the Champion Day with Unibet Champion Hurdle as the main race.
Following Style Wednesday, St Patrick’s Day is the focus for the third day, and Gold Cup Day takes place on Friday and will see The Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup take place.
For more than 200 years, punters have been instructed to wear traditional formal dress, with elaborate get-ups a common sight at racetracks like Cheltenham.
However, in 2023, The Jockey Club, which runs 15 racecourses including Cheltenham, relaxed the rules and changed the policy to make racing more “accessible and inclusive”.
The dress code for Cheltenham Festival is now whatever makes people feel “comfortable and confident”, the Jockey Club has said.
The previous dress code advised men to wear suits and women to wear cocktail dresses.
Now, spectators will be allowed to wear whatever they like at the event, including jeans, trainers and even tracksuits.
However, offensive fancy dress, offensive clothing of any kind and replica sports shirts are still banned.
While spectators won’t be discouraged from dressing smartly if they want to, they will no longer be restricted from certain enclosures based on what they’re wearing.
The Jockey Club has said the old dress code had been “rather outdated in the 21st Century”, and wants spectators to be comfortable in the changeable British weather.
AMY Childs has been criticised for her decision to take her seven-year-old daughter to see Sabrina Carpenter in concert.
The Only Way Is Essex star shared a video of herself and her little girl – a Sabrina mega fan – to London’s O2 Arena to watch the Bed Chem star in action.
“@sabrinacarpenter you was everything and more,” she captioned the Instagram Reel.
“Polly’s face when Sabrina come on stage!
“The most amazing night, a night we won’t ever forget.”
In the clip, Polly was seen having her hair pin curled, before she and her mum headed to the venue and took their seats for the concert.
Amy also caught the moment Polly saw Sabrina in person for the real time, as she beamed from ear to ear.
However, the mum soon found herself at the centre of backlash in the comments section of the Reel, with many insisting Polly was far too young for the gig.
“She’s not a teenager! She should be playing with dolls!” one raged.
“Personally I don’t think Sabrina is a very good role model for kids,” another added.
“She’s far too raunchy
“Let her stay a little girl,” a third sighed.
“Not suitable for her age, surely?” someone else commented.
“Well given Polly’s impressionable age I hope she was a whole lot tamer than she was at the start of the Brits…” another wrote.
“Why are you trying to make your child into an adult? Let her be a kid!” someone else urged.
“Her show was for over 16s, shame on you!” another slammed.
Despite the remark, the age limit only applies to those going to the concert unattended, with the rules stating anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult of 18 or over.
It does say, however, that the age restriction for the seated area – where Amy and Polly were – is actually eight.
Amy Childs was born June 7, 1990, and is a reality star, model, businesswoman and fashion designer.
She shot to fame in 2010 by appearing in ITV2’s reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex.
She became known for her ditsy, likeable personality and briefly dated fellow cast member Kirk Norcoss.
A particularly memorable scene involved her “vajazzling” Sam Faiers in a barbie pink-coloured salon.
She left the show in 2011 and took part in Celebrity Big Brother, finishing fourth.
She also took part in a fly-on-the-wall documentary, It’s All About Amy on Channel 5.
Two years later she competed in Channel 4’s daredevil show The Jump and was the second person to be eliminated.
She is now said to be worth around £5million through her fashion and beauty products.
The little girl isn’t far off though, as she will celebrate her eighth birthday next month, in April.
And Sabrina has countless young fans across the world, despite swearing in some of her songs and lyrics such as: “He pins you down on the carpet,makes paintings with his tongue“.
Her concert is equally raunchy, and even includes a part which involves Sabrina laying on the bed, with a male dancer parting her legs and heading down her body.
Some people on social media have slammed Sabrina for the sexy display, as some have even accused her of leaving kids “traumatised” with her performance.
Despite the backlash, others defended Amy, as they pointed out what a brilliant time Polly seems to have had at the concert.
“Oh the wee darling, having the time of her life!” one wrote.
“Lush pictures, glad you enjoyed the concert,” another added.
“So cute and hair looks beautiful … such a lovely mother and daughter thing to do,” a third commented.
