EMILY PRESCOTT: Mick Jones clashes with celebrity kids while making a guest appearance in Notting Hill panto
During his heyday with the Clash, Mick Jones was used to playing in front of thousands of raucous fans.
So kudos to the guitarist for making a guest appearance at the much quieter Portobello Panto in Notting Hill, a four-night extravaganza that raised thousands of pounds for local charities.
The show, Charlie and the Everlasting Gobstopper, which was produced by Ruby Wax’s daughter Marina Bye, also gave audiences the chance to play famous face bingo.
Cast members included Dominic West’s daughter Martha, Bellaray Bertrand-Webb, Danny Webb’s daughter (in hot pink), Peaky Blinders actress Amber Anderson (in jodhpurs) and, determined not to being outshone by her famous father, model Stella Jones.

Star-crossed lovers, perhaps?
Acting isn’t all about glamorous movie sets and gifts, as university students at Royal Holloway in Surrey found out when they were hired to film a scene for the upcoming season of The Crown.
The university’s student bar, Medicine, was used as the backdrop for scenes about William and Kate’s time in St Andrews, but the killjoy producers denied the youngsters any fun by pouring the alcohol from the bottles used in the scenes.
Meanwhile, Alastair Campbell has dismissed as fiction a scene from the latest series in which Prince Charles languished in Business Class while Tony Blair sat in First Sipping champagne on a flight to Hong Kong.
“It didn’t happen,” says Blair’s former aide.
