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 stars 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.
