That must have Hirst! Damien, 57, looks pained after eating oysters while girlfriend Sophie Cannell, 28, rubs his stomach
He can often be found at dinner parties at Scott’s with his girlfriend Sophie Cannell.
Yet Damien Hirst, 57, looked like he’d overdid it on his latest visit, when he was spotted being comforted by Sophie, 28, during their Sunday lunch date outdoors.
The performer quickly ate a platter of oysters, but later appeared to regret his decision when he lifted his shirt to expose his belly.
Ever the doting girlfriend, Sophie quickly leaned over and rubbed his poor belly before walking around making faces and posing for selfies.
The duo was joined on the outing by a friend, who made the pair giggle by performing unsavory gestures on a salt and pepper mill.

It was previously reported that Damien met Sophie at the posh Chiltern Firehouse, where she used to work as a waitress.
Hirst declared his love for Sophie in March this year when he immortalized her by creating a sculpture based on her body as part of one of his four works for the new Mayfair restaurant Bacchanalia.
The artist also made a statement about his relationship in August 2022 when he gifted Sophie £166,600 18-karat gold Rolex Pearlmaster studded with 713 gems.
It’s so spectacular that Sophie took to Instagram to flaunt it at the time — along with an amazing diamond ring on her left hand.
Such a starlet did little to quell speculation that she and Damien, her boyfriend of three years, are engaged and willing to commit despite their 28-year age difference.
When the pair’s romance first came to light, a friend close to the duo told Richard Eden in the Mail On Sunday that Damien is “in love” with the beauty.
MailOnline now understands that the couple is not engaged.

Damien’s love life prior to Sophie included his long-term girlfriend Maia Norman, with whom he shares three sons.
The former couple are parents to Connor Ojala, 26, Cassius Atticus, 21, and Cyrus Joe, 16.
Although he never married Maia, he referred to her as his “wife.”
After the birth of his eldest child Connor, the artist spent much of his time on a remote farmhouse near Combe Martin in Devon.
