Vision in white: Kelly Brook looks angelic as she shows off her holiday tan in a stunning white minidress on a night out with Thom

By JODY THOMPSON

Golden couple: Kelly Brook showed off her holiday tan in a dazzling white outfit on a night out in London with boyfriend Thom Evans

She might have spent last week far from boyfriend Thom Evans's sight as she enjoyed a working holiday on the Italian island of Ischia - but Kelly Brook was making sure her beau only had eyes for her last night.

Kelly, 31, looked angelic and bronzed from the Mediterranean sun in a white two piece featuring a tight miniskirt and a trendy boxy sleeveless top.

Her look was finished with some nude platform stilettos and a black snakeskin clutch bag.


Stunning: The model was out at the Reebok Zig Tech and Wallpaper Magazine art exhibition private view at the Great Room in Howick Place


Hunk of love: The pair looked as smitten as ever with each other - with former rugby player Thom no doubt glad to have her back home after her working holiday


Thom, 26, meanwhile was showing off his he-vage in a plunge necked T-shirt, with a macho leather jacket and dark jeans with black shiny shoes.

She was a guest with hunky former rugby playing boyfriend Thom Evans at the Reebok Zig Tech and Wallpaper Magazine exhibition private view in London.

Also there was Lily Allen, who looked glowing with pregnancy though coyly hid her bump behind her handbag.


Party girl: Kelly then literally let her hair down at the Red Bull Hip Hop: A Cultural Odyssey book launch party across town


Kelly and Thom made something of a night of it and after the art exhibition, at the Red Bull Hip Hop A Cultural Odyssey Book Launch in town - where Kelly literally let her hair down.

Perhaps they pair are getting their partying in while they can.

Model Kelly, who tragically lost her unborn baby girl in May five months into her pregnancy, revealed this week that she and Thom are trying for another baby.

According to this week's Closer magazine, she has told friends they are keen to conceive and start a family together.

A source told Closer magazine: 'Kelly says Thom's been her rock this year and she's totally in love with him. They're going to try for another baby, planned this time.

'She says she's learnt so much about herself as a person this past year and she is going with what she feels is right.

'She's not interested in waiting until she gets married, she just wants to get on with it! She says she's going to let her heart take over from her head for a bit.'

Lily sadly shared Kelly's heartache when she had a stillborn baby last November six months into her pregnancy.

She was wearing a black sparkly maternity frock with a blue, white and black patterned scarf, black cardigan and some black patent stilettos.

The Smile singer revealed at her wedding last month that she and husband Sam Cooper are expecting again.

It's thought she's around four and a half months pregnant.

Kelly and Thom later headed to the Hip-Hop: A Cultural Odyssey book launch, where they mixed with other stars including Eliza Doolittle, Jameela Jamil and Mr Hudson.

Lily Allen's sister raided by bailiffs over unpaid council tax (at the flat she rents from Daniel Craig)

By Lara Gould


Sisters: Lily Allen (left) and Sarah Owen launched a clothing line together -its flagship store closed after ten months


Bailiffs have visited the home of Lily Allen’s sister over an unpaid council tax bill of nearly £1,800.

The visit by debt collectors came just days after Sarah Owen and singer Lily were forced to deny that the London fashion store they run together had closed its doors.

The bailiffs went to the £300,000 flat Sarah rents from James Bond star Daniel Craig to discuss the debt after Brent Council obtained a court order.


Sarah, 32, starred in a Channel 4 fly-on-the-wall documentary with half-sister Lily earlier this year, which charted their efforts to open fashion store Lucy In Disguise in Covent Garden.

Last week it appeared the shop may have closed just ten months after its launch.

But the sisters insisted they had moved the business to a temporary shop nearby and they had signed a lease for another permanent store which is due to open next month.

Meanwhile a spokesman for Sarah, whose flat is in a sought-after street in Queen’s Park, North-West London, where houses sell for an average of £1.4 million, declined to comment on the council tax bill.

Failure to pay council tax is punishable with up to three months in prison.

Singer Rachel Stevens and rock star Noel Gallagher’s former wife Meg Mathews attended the opening of Lucy In Disguise, which rents out designer vintage clothes.

The shop also sells clothing online designed by Sarah and Lily, who married Sam Cooper last month.

In one episode of Riches To Rags, the three-part TV series about the store, 26-year-old Lily was shown storming out of a meeting when a focus group criticised her vintage frocks, while Sarah was described as ‘really good at partying’.

The show also featured retail expert Mary Portas voicing her fears that their business model was flawed.

A source confirmed bailiffs had visited Sarah’s flat, adding: ‘The debts go back a few months. Obviously as a tenant she is liable for paying the council tax.’

A spokesman for 007 actor Daniel Craig also declined to comment.

A source said: ‘Daniel owns the ¬property, but he doesn’t live there ¬and the liability for paying the council tax does not lie with him.’

A Brent Council spokesman said: ‘A liability order was obtained for non-payment of council tax for the current year for the sum of £1,792.93 at Brent Magistrates’ Court on June 7.

‘It gives the power to recover the debt and the methods we can use are bailiffs or tax deduction from earnings.

‘When you are a tenant you have to register for council tax and in 99 per cent of cases a tenancy agreement states that the tenant is liable for paying council tax.’

Miss Owen and Miss Allen share the same mother, film producer Alison Owen.
