Dame Twiggy Lawson has adopted a baby giraffe in Kenya named… Twiggy. But her neighbors needn’t worry – she won’t be bringing the animal back to the UK, she’s just sponsoring it.
As a thank you, she receives regular updates and a painting every month. The 73-year-old 1960s icon tells me she loves London Zoo and that she and her daughter Carly designed T-shirts for the Zoological Society to help stop animal extinction.
She says penguins are her favorite. ‘I love to see them swimming and toddling,’ she enthuses. Wonder if she knows one of the penguins was named after Lorraine Kelly?

All is well for Sky’s Kay
Sky News’ Kay Burley was left with a face better suited to radio after being viciously bitten by a gadfly while traveling to friends in Gloucestershire.
Luckily, makeup artist Henrik Torp was on hand to cover up the swelling for her Breakfast show this week.
Recalling Torp’s reaction as she walked into the makeup room, Kay, 61, in the photo on the right with the damage, told me, “He said, ‘Hmm, a challenging day for me. Sit down.” Kay added of Torp, who also does makeup for Deal Or No Deal and Dancing On Ice: “Henrik is a gift from God. An absolute magician.”

ITV’s new media wellness brand Woo is so eager to get the Gen Zs on board that they’ve hired a memes director.
Targeting those born circa 2000, Woo gushed about “power of memes” as an antidote to the news cycle, even saying that memes can act as a form of self-care.
In addition to memes, Woo – which is funded by ITV-backed Studio 55 – offers a range of content, from scientific welfare studies to an article examining evidence that the Loch Ness Monster really exists.
