Local Celeb Defends Hosting Party During Lockdown

Breaking “celebs in lockdown” news just in… I’m so please to be announcing some happy news during these dismal pandemic times. It’s so tiresome reporting on people being ill or shops going out of business. Stop moaning! Anyway, back to the good news. This weekend just gone, a local celebrity (who wants to remain anonymous) was very resourceful and rented the (currently closed) Bamboo Caravan to host her own 30th birthday. The star invited at least 30 friends along and by all accounts it was the tonic all the celebs needed as they were growing tired of just tweeting fans. To be honest the whole town could hear the party as it was so loud, but when its famous people you don’t complain do you? Whilst clearing up the mess on Sunday morning restaurant manager Alan Ip told me he was grateful for the income and the guests were very drunk and didn’t break much. They needed a new toilet and kitchen anyway… After a little persuasion he told me who the celeb was, so I rang her immediately (I have many celebs on speed dial). She was very sweet, and has offered to pay her own small fine although no one official has asked her to (she’s so generous). She went on to say “It’s not every day you’re 30, and I thought we’ve found a cure for Covid so a party would be a great way to celebrate.” She went on to add “Anyway, It has been scientifically proven that celebs, like all rich people, are cleaner and healthier than the general public and can’t get Covid. So we’re safe to have parties, go out to dinner or fly around the World without the need to quarantine.” She’s so right. Mr Ip did tell me the Police were called by nosey jealous neighbours, but declined to close down the party or issue any fines as they were asked to stay and eat with the guests. Which they did. Well done to the boys (and girls) in blue. A police spokesperson declined to comment, but off the record did say the buffet was amazing, probably came from M&S, or Asda. Anyway, I applaud any rich people doing their bit to help local businesses such as the Bamboo Caravan through these difficult times. Christine Batley. Deputy Chief Celebrity Correspondent.
