LEICESTER City ace DANNY SIMPSON‘s hands are edging ever closer to the
Premier League silverware.
But in the meantime, the Foxes defender has armed himself with a trophy
girlfriend.
I can reveal the football bad boy has been secretly dating MTV telly babe ASHLEIGH
DEFTY as his club prepare for their final charge to title glory.
The couple were spotted looking loved-up at a Manchester cinema. And I’m told
they have enjoyed a number of steamy dates since Danny took a shine to the
Geordie stunner when she appeared on reality series Ex On The Beach. A
source said: “Ashleigh and Danny have been keeping their romance under wraps
as they don’t want anyone to think he’s being distracted with the most
crucial games of his life ahead.
“It’s early days but there’s no denying they’re into each other. Ashleigh has
even started referring to him as her boyfriend.

“They’re going to see how things go once he’s secured victory.” Ashleigh, who
had a two-year fling with 2016 Celeb Big Brother winner SCOTTY T, has
clearly been a good-luck charm for Danny, whose team need just one more
victory.
She has ended a nightmare two years for the former Man Utd and Newcastle
full-back, who was convicted last year of throttling his ex and the mother
of his child, Steph Ward. He worked part-time as a bingo-caller in February
as part of his community service.
Danny has been single since a brief romance with reality TV star VICKY
PATTISON in 2014 and before that he was with singer TULISA
CONTOSTAVLOS.
Tulisa ended it after a turbulent six months in 2013 and branded him “shallow”
and an “a***hole” — two titles Danny won’t want to keep.
Power Serge
KASABIAN have kept quiet during their beloved Leicester City’s
fairytale season.
But the rockers are about to make the biggest noise of all if the Foxes clinch
the Premier League title – as they will be hosting the “ultimate party”.
The band are performing a special gig for 30,000 fans at the club’s King Power
Stadium on Saturday, May 28, and are hoping to be joined on stage by a
certain Tinkerman.
Speaking exclusively, guitarist SERGIO PIZZORNO said: “We’ve invited
all the players up on stage, we’ll get CLAUDIO RANIERI on the
bells or the bongo.
“This city needs to celebrate the mad event. We’re gonna need a party.”
Leicester only need one win from three games to be crowned champions – and
that’s if main challengers Spurs win all of their remaining fixtures.
Kasabian were due to play at the ground next year but brought it forward due
to huge excitement surrounding the team.
On keeping schtum all season, frontman TOM MEIGHAN said: “I was trying
to be cool. It’s taken over my life.”
I hope for Kasabian’s sake that JAMIE VARDY and the boys pull it
off.
Golden tan, Ellie
ELLIE GOULDING might not be so happy seeing ex DOUGIE POYNTER
out with single PARIS HILTON.
The singer worked on her tan in Miami ahead of a US tour as the McFLY
star joined Paris in London.
It was a day after declaring he still loved Ellie in the band’s guest-edit of
Tuesday’s Bizarre. The same day, Paris split from Thomas Gross.
Dougie and Paris were at the same restaurant as PRO GREEN. If they
didn’t hit it off, the three can start a lonely hearts club.
Pulling like a Pro
PROFESSOR GREEN insists he’s still single despite leaving a party with
two girls in the back of his car.
The rapper attended the launch of Restaurant Ours in London’s Knightsbridge on
Wednesday night, joining models DAISY LOWE and AMBER LE BON on
the guestlist.
Despite his estranged wife MILLIE MACKINTOSH hooking back up with her
Made In Chelsea ex-boyfriend HUGO TAYLOR, Pro was overheard saying he
was still very much on the market.
An onlooker said: “Pro was happily telling people he was single. He’s in no
rush to settle down again.”
But Pro, real name STEPHEN MANDERSON, preferred to play cabbie than
tuck into the leftover canapes.
He left the bash to drop model ARABELLA DRUMMOND and her pal at the
capital’s Tape nightclub before heading home.
Let’s hope he charged a competitive fare.
Posh no pop wannabe
THE SPICE GIRLS’ former manager claims VICTORIA BECKHAM
hated being a pop star from the very start.
Posh was the first to rule herself out of the group’s 20th anniversary reunion
– even
before MEL C pulled out, which I revealed yesterday.
Now SIMON FULLER – who launched the TV Pop Idol franchise and has
masterminded some of the biggest acts in pop, including S CLUB 7 and KELLY
CLARKSON – claims she only found her true calling after she quit music.
He said: “The Spice Girls was great fun and she was in the world’s biggest
group, but she didn’t feel comfortable.
“Victoria, coming out of The Spice Girls and being married to DAVID
BECKHAM, launched a solo career.
“But she still never felt comfortable. She could sing pretty well, she could
dance pretty well, but she always felt uncomfortable.
“As Posh Spice she knew everything about clothes. I said, ‘You should be in
fashion.’”
Vic clearly follows his every word – but I reckon he’s being rather kind with
his singing appraisal.
Doug didn’t dig it
SOUNDS like MICHAEL DOUGLAS is a barrel of laughs on set.
US comedian PAUL RUDD poked fun about his involvement in Nineties film
Basic Instinct by recreating SHARON STONE’s famous leg-spreading
scene.
But his gag, during their time on Ant-Man last year, went down like the burger
order in Falling Down.
Speaking on The Graham Norton Show, tonight on BBC1, Paul told how he joked as
Michael delivered a monologue.
He said: “So I unzipped my jeans and was fumbling around to get in the right
position when Michael saw me. He’s such a pro that he finished his speech
but then said, ‘Are you a complete pervert?’.
“The prank didn’t play out as I anticipated.”
Clearly not Michael’s career highlight.
