EMILY PRESCOTT: They’re BEAUTIFUL, James! Former tank commander Blunt wears women’s shorts during a trip to Italy’s Amalfi Coast

Forgetting to pack shorts for a trip to Italy’s Amalfi Coast was no problem for James Blunt, he just wore some designed for women!

The singer rushed to a Superdry branch when he realized his mistake, saying he had to search the shelves for pairs of women’s size eights as the only men’s offerings were too big.

James, 48, admitted to pulling pranks in women’s clothing during his army days, but says his friends on holiday were less than thrilled with the shorts, which left little to the imagination!

Natalie plays a dangerous game

What is the difference between British and American actors?

As a manual for all things etiquette, it seems only right that the Tatler society bible has published its own set of dating rules, and naturally the advice on how to bag a duke or duchess is nothing if not specific.

The long list includes such helpful tips as finding your date’s family seat on the Zoopla property website, not showing up barefoot, and choosing someone the same way you choose a horse. If your eyes look crazy, don’t go there. You can’t say you haven’t been warned!

With talk of the King slimming down The Firm, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester appear to be doing their part to keep costs down.

They want to hire a program coordinator for a non-princely salary of £25,000.

Whoever gets the job will earn their money: The couple completed 194 engagements last year.

Are Luke and Jade out of tune?

Have things cooled down between Bridgerton star Luke Newton and his girlfriend, West End actress Jade Davies? I’m told the couple who began dating more than three years ago didn’t see each other over Christmas, while photos of Jade, 29, have been deleted from Luke’s Instagram account.

They also seem to be cool on the musical front. Jade, who starred in productions of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Phantom Of The Opera, used to post videos of the pair dueting, but they’ve gone quiet.
