Elton John and David Walliams blamed for ‘ruining hen do'
Sir Elton John and David Walliams have been blamed for ruining a woman's hen do. The two shared photographs of themselves enjoying lunch at the luxurious La Guérite restaurant, on the Île Ste-Marguerite, south of Cannes. But it has been claimed their presence at the Riviera restaurant meant a group of women who were booked in to celebrate their friend's forthcoming wedding had their reservation cancelled. Levelling the accusation at the stars on Instagram, one woman 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 another comment saying: 'We booked our table in May didn't think it would be cancelled with 24 hours' notice.' This claim was supported by another woman, apparently also a member of her party, who wrote: 'So bad isn't it! We flew here especially for this for our friend's hen.' It is unclear if Sir Elton or Walliams were aware of any bookings being cancelled. The Telegraph has contacted representatives for comment. The women's comments were posted beneath a photo shared by Walliams, showing the former Britain's Got Talent judge sitting alongside Sir Elton at the restaurant. Walliams also shared a video of himself dancing around the lunch table to Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance with Somebody with young actors Joe Locke, Kit Connor and Tobie Donovan, all of whom star in the Netflix series Heartstopper. Sir Elton was spotted at the same restaurant with David Furnish, his husband, in July. The pop star is understood to own a £15m villa known as the Yellow Palace in Nice, along the coast from Cannes. He has hosted a number of celebrities at the house, including the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who holidayed there with their son Archie in 2019. The Île Ste-Marguerite, famous for the 17th-century Fort Royal, where Dumas's fictional Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned, is the largest island of the five-island Îles de Lérins archipelago in the Bay of Cannes.

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.
