My best friend's hen was cancelled thanks to you... Elton John and David Walliams! Stars party in Cannes, while bride-to-be's special event was axed

A woman has claimed her best friend's hen do was cancelled due to Elton John and David Walliams ' 'semi-private event' at a restaurant in Cannes.
The two stars shared snaps of themselves having lunch at the expensive La Guérite restaurant and beach club, on the Île Ste-Marguerite, south of Cannes.
But their attendance allegedly meant a group of women who booked a table at the venue in May to celebrate their friend's upcoming wedding had their reservation axed last minute.
Taking a swipe at the stars on Instagram, a friend of the bride wrote: 'Hope you enjoyed La Guérite! Our reservation was cancelled for my best friend's hen do due to your "semi-private event".'
She added: 'We booked our table in May didn't think it would be cancelled with 24 hours' notice.'
Her claim was backed up by another woman, who wrote: 'So bad isn't it! We flew here especially for this for our friend's hen.'
It is not known whether Sir Elton or Walliams were aware of any bookings being cancelled on the day of their event.
The women's comments were penned under a post shared by Walliams, The Telegraph first reported, in which he pictured himself sitting next to his friend Sir Elton at the restaurant.
Comedian Walliams, 53, also shared a video of him dancing - in which he couldn't contain his excitement when Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) was played, much to the amusement of pop icon Sir Elton.
Walliams stood at the table and swayed animatedly to the music, before moving to dance with his hands on the back of Sir Elton's chair.
The Crocodile Rock legend, who looked smart in a summer shirt, appeared in great spirits and sang along before collapsing into fits of giggles.
Walliams, shielding his eyes behind shades, was loving every moment and had a huge grin on his face as the other diners laughed along.
As well as Elton, David was joined by Heartstopper stars Kit Connor, 21, Joe Locke, 21, and Tobie Donovan, 23, sharing snaps as they soaked up the sun together.
He shared the clip to X and captioned it: 'Summer holiday'.
Sir Elton attended the same restaurant with his husband David Furnish in July.
The singer is believed to own a £15million villa - known as the Yellow Palace - which sits along the coast from Cannes.

Tyson Fury teases major announcement after pulling yet another retirement U-turn as £300m Anthony Joshua fight looms

TYSON FURY has teased that a major announcement is on the horizon amid his continued tooing and froing from retirement. The Gypsy King kicked up a fuss in the aftermath of his second straight defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last December and announced his FIFTH retirement from boxing. 4 4 But he performed a public U-turn in April as he campaigned for a trilogy fight with the two-time undisputed heavyweight king. The Wythenshawe warrior, however, dashed the hopes of fans excited to see him fight again earlier this month by claiming he will " NEVER" set foot inside the ring again. But he's once again left the boxing world on tenterhooks by revealing he's set to make a big announcement. He said on his Instagram story on Monday: "I've got the biggest announcement of the year incoming. Stay tuned." Fury, who celebrated his 37th birthday earlier this month, has arguably the biggest payday of his career awaiting him if he does decide to lace up his gloves again. A lucrative and long-overdue battle with Brit rival Anthony Joshua is in the offing for the dad-of-seven. But the former two-time king of the heavyweights could seemingly care little about fighting again, telling Sky Sports when asked if he'd return to the ring: "Never. Really! "[I'm] too old, look at my beard, all grey. Boxing 's a young man's game." Fury's latest comments on a return to the squared circle are in stark contrast to the admission he made about fighting last month. Speaking ahead of Usyk's rematch with Daniel Dubois at Wembley, he said: "I do miss it. Tyson Fury, 36, claims he will 'NEVER' return to boxing just weeks after announcing comeback and hints at new career "Every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it. "I've been away seven months, missed it every day. I'm open to offers at the moment. "I'm not going to be doing any comebacks this year, that's for sure. "I'm busy, as you can see, I've got Netflix here. I've got the biggest announcement of the year incoming. Stay tuned!" Tyson Fury on Instagram 4 "And then next year, the big GK is going to make a f***ing comeback. "The takeover! I'm gonna be 37 in about three weeks. "I'm going to be the oldest swinger with all these young boys coming up.

Iconic British actor reveals secret feud with 'arrogant co-star who behaved so badly on set'

Martin Shaw has revealed the secret feud he had with his 'arrogant' late co-star Lewis Collins. The pair are famously known as British TV's most popular crime-fighting of the 1980s, Bodie and Doyle. Martin, 80, and Lewis, who looked as though were best pals onscreen in The Professionals, couldn't stand each other in real life. So much so that Martin admitted he was 'relieved' when he stopped working with his co-star after the series ended. In an interview with the Telegraph, Martin spoke of the hidden feud he had with the late actor, who died in 2013 after a five-year battle with cancer. He said: 'It was truly, truly horrible and there was a sense of blessed relief when it was over. Ten years after the show finished I met Lewis and everything was healed between us.' Martin said their feud first began when he and Lewis played villains in The New Avengers in 1977. 'Lewis behaved so badly on that set. He had a small part but he was so arrogant. It was beyond that. It was bizarre', Martin said. Martin recalled how Lewis would 'boast about his physical prowess at the expense of the other actors'. He added: 'I'd already said to the casting director, "I can't work with Lewis because we don't get on", but they cast him anyway. 'I went up to him on the first day of shooting and said: "You know I didn't want you to do this but let's get on with it and have fun". And he told me to f*** off and he never forgave me for the next four years.' Doyle was the sensitive one with a bubble-perm and a conscience. The real hardman of the show was saturnine Bodie, the ex-mercenary. Bodie and Doyle were the paramilitary wing of MI5, a maverick unit called CI5 run by George Cowley, played by war movie veteran Gordon Jackson. It was his Glaswegian growl that warned of 'anarchy' and 'acts of terror', and set the uncompromising tone for the show. Earlier this year, Martin starred in Robert Bolt's perennial war-horse A Man For All Seasons (his first was in 2006). It tells the story of Catholic saint Thomas More's stand against Henry VIII, or more precisely, Henry's determination to defy the Pope, appoint himself head of the Church in England, ditch Catherine of Aragon and have a go at siring a son by another woman (Anne Boleyn). Martin admitted that his job contributed to his hair turning grey, in an interview with The Guardian in 2012. He said: 'I've grown a few grey hairs – well, a lot of grey hairs by now. And there's been a great deal of fatigue,' 'Acting does put a strain on relationships. You're away from home a lot. In that sense, it's almost military.'
