For the Ladies of London star has revealed that she’s undergone a face-lift in Los Angeles that left her looking like she’d ‘been in a car crash’. The socialite admits: ‘I decided to have a face-lift with no information whatsoever.

I skipped into that surgery like I was having a mole removed. This is LA – so, unlike other places where you’re sort of taken to hospital and feel like you’re having a medical experience, here you’re taken to a back room of an office just as if you’re having a filler. They put you to sleep and remove your face.

‘I looked like I’d been in a car crash and the car definitely didn’t win. ‘ Stanbury, who has three children, says of the ordeal with the unnamed doctor: ‘He managed to cut off three inches on my neck and then the full width of my ear from my face. The shape of my face is completely wrong for a human: the top half is wider than the bottom half, and my neck is too thick.

I have stitches at the front and back of my ear and on my eyelids. ‘ The Ladies of London star (pictured before the procedure) has revealed that she’s undergone a face-lift in Los Angeles that left her looking like she’d ‘been in a car crash’ She explains why she went under the knife: ‘I wanted to look exactly like me but fresh. I did my upper lip, my eyelids, where they take off the excess skin because I’m 47.

I did lower neck, and my neck is so tight right now. I really thought it was a half face-lift and I only had one appointment and paid the money. ‘ She says of the results: ‘There is no sign of my face in that face – which is petrifying.

I wanted to sue my doctor because when you slightly look at your face everything is in the wrong place. Obviously after surgery, things swell differently, on each side, nothing looks even, and my neck doesn’t move so it’s like a tree trunk. ‘ Her Spanish husband, former footballer Sergio Carrallo, who’s 18 years her junior, says he’s been left distraught.

‘There are two wives – the one last week and the wife this week – I don’t recognise her,’ he says. ‘It was the worst experience of my life. I was crying; I was trying to look for her and find my wife.

‘ He adds: ‘Mentally and emotionally, I’ve been on the floor. No words can describe how much I’m suffering looking at my wife. I don’t want my wife to look fake, I want her to look natural.

It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done and no one prepares you for it.

‘ Confessions of The Crown Dominic West adopted a hunch for his portrayal of Prince Charles in The Crown, on the advice of Polly Bennett, the drama’s ‘movement coach’. Dominic West adopted a hunch for his portrayal of Prince Charles in The Crown, on the advice of the drama’s ‘movement coach’ Bennett told West to imagine a crown floating just out of reach above his head. ‘That’s a really helpful image for him psychologically, as somebody who’s maybe becoming king,’ she disclosed.

Imelda Staunton’s Queen Elizabeth was told to stand with her big toes firmly planted on the floor, which ‘gives a little zip forward in your spine’, Bennett said. ‘She is always ready to move off, because she doesn’t want to stick around. She’s got things to do.

Ahead of ‘Black Friday’, restaurateur Ruth Rogers is fighting back against the tiresome American phrase. Lady Rogers, who owns The River Cafe in West London, is calling the pre-Christmas sales at her own shop ‘Bright Friday’ instead. ‘We want to bring joy and bright colours into everything we do,’ she tells me.

‘I don’t wear black and we don’t have black in the restaurant. In these grey winter months, always go for colour. ‘ U.

S. -born Ruthie’s late husband, architect Richard Rogers, was known for wearing jolly colours. He once complained: ‘I don’t understand why everyone has to wear black, grey and white.
