Tattooed cocktail waitress and Prince Harry

Tattooed cocktail waitress with long-term boyfriend 'did spend night with Prince Harry'

Lives with her boyfriend: Jessica Donaldson

He vowed that his stint in the US would be all work and no play, but already Prince Harry has been accused of spending the night with cocktail waitress sporting a large tattoo – and an even bigger boyfriend.

The helicopter pilot prince, who is three weeks into an advanced weapons training course in California, apparently invited brunette Jessica Donaldson to his hotel room after a late-night drinking session.

According to staff at the Marriott hotel in Solano Beach, near San Diego, the pretty 26-year-old wasn’t seen leaving until 10.30am the next day.

Despite insisting that it ‘must have been some other girl’, Jessica, who lives with her boyfriend of three years, burly nightclub promoter Brandon Thomason, was positively identified by at least two independent sources.

The 27-year-old prince, who is third in line to the throne, met Jessica, who has a rose tattoo running across her midriff, when he visited the Ivy nightclub in San Diego, a two hour drive from his base on Friday, October 7.

She works there as a ‘bottle girl’, selling over-priced vodka to tables of wealthy punters at £350 a time.

Harry, who was with a large group of army air corps colleagues as well as his Scotland Yard security detail, bought two bottles and began chatting to Jessica.

At the end of the night, a man she believed was one of his bodyguards asked for her number and said the prince would like to meet her for brunch the next day.

Jessica and a friend met up with him and his group for scrambled eggs and carried on drinking fruit cocktails at a Mexican bar for the rest of the day.

He then got a friend to text Jessica and invite her along to a see a band at the Belly Up Tavern, also in Solano Beach, the weekend before last.

It is here that they were pictured laughing and chatting intimately, sharing what appeared to be a long, slow kiss on the lips.
Jessica denies that they did so, insisting that it was a ‘bad camera angle’.
She also rejects claims by staff at the nearby Marriot Hotel that she visited Harry at his room there, suite 202, saying: ‘It must have been another girl. I am sure Harry has lots of girls.’

But one source at the hotel says: ‘Harry and the brunette were kissing [in the lobby]. They ended up going back to his room. In the morning he walked her to a blue car that arrived to pick her up.’

Jessica has admitted that Harry is ‘a real life Prince Charming’ but says: ‘I am not sleeping with Prince Harry and he has never been anything but a total gentleman to me. I am very upset that this has all blown up.

'I’m flattered he showed me attention but that is all there is to it. I really like him but I have a boyfriend and I just want this to all go away.’

Her partner, Mr Thomason, added: ‘When I first saw the pictures of Jes with Harry I talked to her and she assured me that nothing went on. She told me they didn’t kiss and I believe her.’

The prince is an Apache attack helicopter pilot with the Army Air Corps and is currently completing the final stage of his training in the US with a view to returning to Afghanistan next year. He will be based in California until early December.

His spokesman at St James’s Palace has declined to comment on the reports.

Caroline Flack 'I'm on a mission to make Gary Barlow cry'

'I'm on a mission to make Gary Barlow cry': The world according to Caroline Flack

By Jon Wilde



Last updated at 10:00 PM on 15th October 2011

The presenter on being romantically linked to Prince Harry and why she's keen to see the X Factor judge in tears

'It did get strange when I'd read all the time that I was Prince Harry's new girlfriend. I met him a few times and we got on fine but we were never a couple,' said Caroline Flack

One thing Caroline Flack could never be accused of lacking is enthusiasm. Her lust for life is so contagious that, after meeting her, you feel like you’ve been plugged into the national grid for an hour.

Her natural joie de vivre at least partly explains why she is now so in demand as a TV presenter. Born in north London and raised in Norfolk, she studied drama and dance before setting her sights on television.

She got her big break playing Michael Jackson’s girlfriend on Bo’ Selecta!, then becoming a co-presenter on the Saturday-morning show TMi. In 2008 she joined Ian Wright as a co-host on Gladiators, then became the host of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Now. She is best known for presenting The Xtra Factor with Olly Murs.

Now 30, she is currently single and lives in London.

'I'm the resident X Factor therapist,' said Caroline, pictured with Gary Barlow and Olly Murs

I’m no wild hell-raiser.

When I lived in Camden I used to drink at the Hawley Arms, a pub most associated with Amy Winehouse. From that, people assumed I must live a life of drugs and debauchery. I was never a close friend of Amy’s. We only met a few times and our lifestyles couldn’t have been more different. I had my share of fun in my twenties but I’ve never been a big drinker. I can’t hold my booze so I’m always the first one to go home. Most nights I’m happy to stay at home with a DVD and a bowl of lettuce.

I never dated Rolf Harris.

If you believe all you read I’ve dated every man on the planet – including Rolf. The truth is that I’ve never gone out with anyone famous. But I only need to be in the same postal district as a male celebrity and I’m rumoured to be dating them. I keep reading that my list of conquests reads like a showbiz Who’s Who. I’ve had one boyfriend in the past five years and he worked in a pub. I don’t let it annoy me. It did get strange when I’d read all the time that I was Prince Harry’s new girlfriend. I met him a few times and we got on fine but we were never a couple. But certain newspapers seemed to want to make me look as naughty as possible.

I’ve always believed hard work would pay off.

When it came to dancing and acting at school my sister was the talented one. To get even close to her I had to work incredibly hard. I’ve always felt the need to overcompensate but I know my limits. My first ambition was musical theatre but I realised quite early on that I wouldn’t make the grade. Television is where I’m most at home. I’m not one of those TV presenters who secretly yearns to be a Hollywood actress. Live telly is what I thrive on.

'I've never been a big drinker. I can't hold my booze so I'm always the first one to go home'

One thing I never want to do again is work in a pork factory.

Growing up in Norfolk there weren’t many weekend jobs for kids apart from factory work. I really wanted to earn my own money so, at 15, I started working in the local pork factory. I only lasted four weeks. It was extremely cold and not very satisfying. Luckily I didn’t work in the abattoir; I was mainly in charge of packing meat into boxes. It took me a few minutes to decide that this wasn’t how I wanted to be earning a living.

I once worked as a magician’s assistant.

Just after leaving college I saw an advert in the local paper and thought, ‘I have to do this.’ Part of the job involved lying down in a long box while the magician poked swords into it. I hate to destroy anyone’s illusions but there wasn’t much magic involved. I just had to squirm around inside the box to avoid the swords. The highlight of the show was ‘The Amazing Floating Lady’, where he waved his wand and a woman appeared to be suspended in mid-air. But I wasn’t chosen for that segment of the show. I did find out how he did it, though I’d rather not say – I don’t want members of the Magic Circle on my trail.

Dressing up as a banana is not as easy as it looks.

The great thing about doing kids’ TV is that you can come up with the daftest idea in the world and everyone happily goes along with it. I’ve worn quite a few ridiculous costumes in my career. One time I dressed up as an angry badger. Every time the music stopped I had to do an angry badger dance. Everyone seems to remember me dressed up as a banana. It does get uncomfortably warm inside a banana suit and it’s difficult to walk in a straight line. But I’d happily do it again.

I’m the resident X Factor therapist.

I’m the shoulder to cry on. I talk to people whose lives have just changed by appearing on the show. Emotions are running high. The trick is being able to listen. If someone’s had a ghastly time, sometimes it’s best to say nothing. They just need someone who is sympathetic. At the end of a day I have an awful lot of wet mascara on my shoulders.

I’m on a mission to make Gary Barlow cry.

He’s the only X Factor judge who has never shed a tear during the show. It doesn’t take much to bring a tear to my eye. If I see someone who is upset, that always makes me cry. But Gary has never turned on the waterworks. We’re very keen to see it happen but we don’t want to do anything too cruel to him. It might have to come down to a plate of raw onions held close to his face.

'Gary Barlow has never turned on the waterworks. We're very keen to see it happen'

Hypnotherapy cured my fear of spiders and insects.

Growing up, those creatures used to completely freak me out. A few years ago I decided to do something about it. The therapist put me under so I felt like I was somewhere between asleep and awake. She took me back to a time in my life when I first felt afraid of those things. Then I approached myself at that age and talked myself through my phobias. I’ve never been afraid since. When I’ve gone into the jungle to do I’m A Celebrity, there are spiders and insects everywhere. They still unsettle me but they don’t scare me. Even so, I always keep my Wellington boots on in my hotel room just in case.

You can’t beat the sound of vinyl records.

I’m not knocking the iPod. It’s such a wonderfully convenient device, especially when you’re travelling. CDs aren’t all bad either. They’re ideal for car journeys. But I love sitting in my lounge playing vinyl albums on my gorgeous old radiogram. My dad gave me his entire vinyl collection so I love picking through that, choosing an album, lifting the needle and enjoying the sound that CDs and the iPod can’t hope to compete with.

I play a mean poker hand.

My interest in the game began in 2004 when I hosted the European Poker Tour on TV. I visited all the best casinos in Europe, got to meet the best professionals in the business and became hooked. I got into the habit of having friends round on a Friday night to play poker. I usually ended the night with a few extra quid. But I’ll never be good enough to play professionally. My face is too easily readable.

I’m no stranger to roughing it.

Through my twenties I loved heading off to India on backpacking trips. My idea of paradise was a beach, a bed and a mosquito net. These days I prefer a little luxury. I’m more likely to stay in a nice hotel than a tent crawling with worms and spiders. In terms of roughing it, four days without a shower at Glastonbury is about my limit now.

‘The Xtra Factor’ is on Saturdays, ITV2 at 10pm

Angellica Bell looks blooming in purple as she joins husband Michael Underwood at WellChild Awards

Bumping along nicely: Angellica Bell looks blooming in purple as she joins husband Michael Underwood at WellChild Awards

By Emily Sheridan

She's been keeping a low profile since announcing she was expecting her first child in June.

But last night TV presenter Anjellica Bell showed just how well pregnancy was suiting her as she attended the WellChild Awards.

The former CBBC star, 35, showed off her baby bump in a purple Tiffany Rose dress as she joined her husband Michael Underwood at the Intercontinental Hotel in London.

Coincidentally, it looked like Bell had co-ordinated her outfit to the event's colour theme as she posed up beside balloons the same colour as her dress and heels.

Ahead of the event, Bell admitted she nervous about showing off her bump on the red carpet for the first time.


She tweeted: 'Time to get ready for the WellChild Awards tonight. Not sure what to wear. Haven't been to an event with the bump yet!

Excitement: Bell and her husband Michael Underwood will become first time parents in December

'Had a panic with the dress but went for a purple Tiffany Rose one! Doing make-up in the car now! Ha!'

Bell is six months pregnant with her first child, which is due on December 19 - shortly before their first wedding anniversary.

The couple tied the knot in a surprise ceremony in between Christmas and New Year in a snowy New York City last year.

Underwood, 35, and Bell first met in 2000 when she joined Children's BBC as a presenter.

They remained good friends, but Bell went on to marry personal trainer Stuart Amory in January 2007.

However, they split the following year and Bell soon fell in love with Underwood, who had previously confessed to having feelings for her several months before her previous marriage.

Last night, the couple joined a host of stars at the charity event, including Prince Harry, Pixie Lott, Gillian McKeith and Duncan Bannatyne.

New Pippa Middleton documentary claims to reveal details of relationship with Harry

'She's a foxy filly!' New Pippa Middleton documentary claims to reveal details of relationship with Harry

By Deborah Arthurs

Last updated at 3:34 PM on 28th July 2011


Since Pippa Middleton's stellar performance as maid of honour at the royal wedding, there has been a sense of growing hysteria surrounding the Duchess of Cambridge's younger sister.

Such is the interest in Pippa Middleton both here and in the U.S. that Pippa - known now by such monikers as Her Royal Hotness and P-Middy - is to be the subject of an in depth documentary made by cable network TLC.

The appropriately named Crazy About Pippa will air on Tuesday 9 August at 9pm, when, it is said, 'those closest to Pippa provide insight into the life and work of the future Queen of England's sister.'

Crazy About Pippa: New documentary on cable channel TLC promises to reveal new details about the sister to the future Queen of England

Given that that would mean Catherine taking centre stage to divulge details on her sister, it's doubtful the revelations are genuinely to come from those 'closest' to Pippa.



Nonetheless, the show will no doubt be well watched, discussing as it will Pippa's rise to notoriety following William and Catherine's wedding, taking in the Alexander McQueen gown she wore to walk down the aisle of Westminster Abbey and touching on Pippa's now infamous derriere which, following the wedding, won its own Facebook fan group with a 230,000-strong membership.

Famous derriere: The sight of Pippa's elegant figure walking down the aisle at Westminster Abbey on Catherine's wedding day inspired a Facebook group that now boasts 230,000 fans

Since Pippa herself is yet to make a television appearance and certainly would not have taken part in the production of the show, it is difficult to imagine what the programme can report that our Pippa-obsessed nations do not already know.

The cable channel TLC suggests, tantalisingly, that the documentary will discuss Pippa's relationship with Prince Harry - although details released by TLC that new brother-in-law Harry refers to her as a 'foxy filly' is likely to be as salacious as it gets.

What is true though, is the network's claim that Pippa is Britain's 'most eligible bachelorette' - although no doubt longtime boyfriend Alex Loudon will baulk at the term. No doubt he would like to think of his girlfriend as very much spoken for.

Affectionate nickname: The documentary will claim that Harry, pictured joking with his new sister-in-law at the royal wedding, calls Pippa Middleton 'foxy filly'

It is not the first time that Pippa's name has been mentioned in the same breath as a television channel.

Shortly after the royal wedding, it was reported that she had been offered $5m by Vivid Entertainment to star in a porn movie, and is listed as the contestant Strictly Come Dancing judges would most like to see on the show.

Odds on that one actually happening? Slim to none.

Crazy About Pippa will air on TLC on 9 August at 9pm.

Prince Harry 'dating Jenson Button's ex-girlfriend Florence Brudenell-Bruce'

By Sarah Bull

Last updated at 3:38 PM on 29th June 2011


Prince Harry has started dating Jenson Button's ex-girlfriend Florence Brudenell-Bruce, it has been claimed.

The 26-year-old royal is said to have been enjoying 'secret trysts' with the lingerie and swimwear model over the past few months.

The couple, who have been friends for years, apparently became an item after Harry confirmed that his relationship with Chelsy Davy was over for good.

Scroll down for video

New love? Prince Harry is apparently dating Jenson Button's ex-girlfriend Florence Brudenell-Bruce

A royal source told The Sun: 'It's very early days but Harry and Florence are an item.

'She is a lot of fun, blonde and very good-looking. Harry really likes her.'

Stunning Florence, 25, nicknamed 'Flee' by her friends, is the daughter of old Etonian Andrew, now a successful wine merchant, and his wife Sophie.

Model behaviour: Florence, who has a history of art degree from Bristol University, has modelled for names including Knickerbox at Ann Summers

The new couple are said to have enjoyed a series of encounters at Florence's £2.5million home in Notting Hill, west London, in recent months.

However, returning to her house yesterday, Florence, who showed off her figure in a pair of tiny denim shorts, declined to comment on the relationship, simply adding: 'There's not much to say.'

Florence, a descendant of the seventh Earl of Cardigan who led the Charge of the Light Brigade, previously dated Formula 1 racing driver Jenson Button.

Former love: Florence dated Formula 1 racing driver Jenson Button for two years before they split in 2008

And the pretty blonde, who was with Button for two years before their split in 2008, was even credited - by Button's Honda team - with being a 'tactically astute' influence on the young British driver.

After coming in eighth place in the French Grand Prix in July 2007, Button said his success was down to a text he received from Florence.

He said: 'My missus sent me a text. It was very impressive. She said, "It is going to rain and the strategy is vital", which was pretty hilarious but she was right.'

Split: Florence and Harry apparently only started dating after he had confirmed he has split from Chelsy Davy

Unfazed: Chelsy didn't seem too worried about the news of Harry's new girl as she arrived at Wimbledon today

WHO IS FLORENCE BRUDENELL-BRUCE?

Well-educated and from a close-knit and happy family, Florence is the youngest of four children of Old Etonian wine merchant Andrew and his French wife Sophie.
Scouted by a model agency at age 15 coming out of Topshop, Florence finished her A-levels at Stowe school at the behest of her parents before going on to model in her gap year, landing a campaign for adidas in America, vamping up John Lewis’s image in a swimwear campaign, and posing in Elizabeth Hurley’s designs. A billboard campaign for Knickerbox followed.
Naturally slim, she never diets and adores baking. Florence follows her French mother’s advice on healthy eating: eat a good breakfast, lunch and dinner with little snacking in between, and the metabolism will regulate itself, she says. The day before a fashion shoot she avoids large meals; on the shoot she sips ginger tea from a flask, then in the evening enjoys a Thai soup: ‘If food is spicy, it feels good for you.’
With her modelling career going from strength to strength, Florence confessed she loved the ‘acting side’ of modelling and took acting classes at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Her efforts won her a roles in a Bollywood film, Love Aaj Kal, for which she also had a crash course in Bhangra dancing – ‘I’m quite mal-coordinated’ she said. Her ambition, she says, is to star in a Sam Mendes-directed period drama.
Her relationship with Button - which ended ‘amicably’ in 2008, though rumours of the British racing driver’s roving eye swirled at the time - was played out more frequently in art galleries than nightclubs while on F1 tours, and Florence, who studied history of art at Bristol University, was said to have been a ‘tactically astute’ influence on the young British racing driver.
She has been linked to Henry St George, son of the late multimillionaire financier Edward St George and Iain Russell, a gambling pal of Tom Parker Bowles but, wary of the cult of celebrity, she has never desired to be an It-girl and prefers a low-key lifestyle.

Like it or not, that looks set to change.

Florence later explained: 'I think that was a bit of a joke, although I did send the text. He hadn't had such a good year and it was raining, but the car was looking all right, and I remember sitting in his motorhome and texting him just before the race.

'I know the engineers and mechanics thought it was brilliant.'

Florence, who has a history of art degree from Bristol University, has modelled for huge names including John Lewis and adidas.

In addition to her modelling career, she also appeared as the love interest in Bollywood movie Love Aaj Kal two years ago.

However, despite her role in the movie, Florence said at the time a career in the Bollywood industry was unlikely due to her blonde hair and fair colouring.

Florence also recently appeared in a national TV campaign promoting the Paddy Power App and mobile betting for the bookmakers.

Florence has also placed huge importance on starting a family when she finds the right man.

Speaking in 2008, in answer to the question 'What's your ultimate ambition'?, Florence replied: 'I would like to be happy - oh my goodness, I sound like one of those cliched Miss Universe contestants who say their most fervent desire is world peace.

'And successful - not to make pots of money, but to be fulfilled in my career and then eventually, because I am only 22, to marry and have a family...'

As well as Button, Florence has been linked to stars including society favourite Henry St George and Iain Russell.

Harry, meanwhile, split from Chelsy in January 2009 and has since been romantically linked to celebrities including The Xtra Factor host Caroline Flack and Dancing On Ice star Natalie Pinkham.

And despite rumours of a reconciliation after Chelsy attended Prince William and Catherine Middleton's wedding, Harry came forward to insist he was '100 per cent single'.

Speaking at the Hard Rock Calling festival in London last weekend, Harry made no mention of his new relationship, telling festival-goers: 'I am not seeing anyone at the moment. I'm 100 per cent single.

'I'm working a lot at the moment, so dating and watching TV are the last things I have time for.'

Single Adele sets her sights on Prince Harry

Single Adele sets her sights on Prince Harry, despite vowing she 'would never go out with a ginger'

She once swore she would never date a man with red hair.

But it would seem Adele is prepared to make an exception in Prince Harry's case.

The singer has admitted she's 'after' the eligible royal because she thinks his penchant for partying would guarantee a 'right laugh'.

In July's edition of Glamour magazine, Adele admits: 'I know I said I wouldn’t go out with a ginger, but it’s Prince Harry. I’d be a real duchess then! I’d love a night out with him. He seems like a right laugh.'
In her usual candid style, the singer has spilled the beans - albeit only partially - on her love life and how a surge in sudden interest from men has led to string of dates with other celebrities.
She told Glamour: 'I’m single. But I get a lot more attention. If I was a guy, I’d be taking advantage.

Candid: The singer spilled the beans on her love live and revealed she had been at the receiving end of more attention from the opposite sex

Eligible: Prince Harry's penchant for partying has sparked has won him many admirers - including Adele

She also admitted she liked a man in a suit, although said she preferred a boy in boxer shorts.

She added: 'I just love boys in general. I think they’re brilliant. There’s nothing like a cuddle. They’re complicated though.'

And it would seem Adele isn't just a hit with the boys these days.
Since the 22-year-old stormed the US with her second album, she has also won an army of celebrity admirers too.

When she was told Beyoncé was a fan of her music, Adele said: 'It makes my heart flicker. I’ve been a fan of hers since I was ten. Destiny’s Child were my life. I love her.'

'But I love dressing up now. I love being girlie.'
