Silent Witness Actress Emilia Fox to marry millionaire boyfriend Luc Chaudhary after splitting from Marco Pierre White
POSH telly favourite EMILIA FOX is planning to marry her talent agent boyfriend.
The Silent Witness actress is said to be secretly engaged to Luc Chaudhary, who made millions as a banker in London before moving into showbiz.
The couple went public as a couple in June and have revealed the latest news to friends, who say they are keen to have a child together once they tie the knot.
A source said: “Emilia and Luc are hopelessly in love. They’re both parents and looking forward to blending their families into one. They’re desperate to start a family of their own too, but only once they are married.”
Emilia, who also stars in culinary drama Delicious and appeared in Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway Whodunnit sketch, has been married once before, to acting icon Richard Harris’ son Jared.
They tied the knot in 2005 but separated three years later. Emilia cited the trauma of a 2007 miscarriage as contributing to the breakdown of their marriage.
The Pianist actress went on to have a daughter, Rose, with actor Jeremy Gilley in 2010.
As an up-and-comer, she was engaged to comedian Vic Reeves after playing his love interest on detective series Randall And Hopkirk.
She’d moved in to the comic’s home within weeks of meeting him in 1999, even though he was still married to first wife Sarah. Their whirlwind engagement was over by the following year.
Emilia also had an on-off romance with fiery chef Marco Pierre White , 13 years her senior, from 2012 until 2016.
Luc, a parent of twin boys, works for International Artists Management, and represents the likes of Mica Paris and Titanic actor Billy Zane.
That’ll be one exclusive guestlist.
Orlando next in his prime
ORLANDO Bloom has signed a megabucks deal with Amazon – and I bet it’s not far off the £50milllion it spent recently on Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
He starred in the Amazon original Carnival Row alongside model Cara Delevingne and will now work to develop new shows and movies for Prime Video.
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, meanwhile, have signed on to make a wedding-themed reality show for the online giant.
The couple got hitched last December and their new project will focus on the traditional Indian pre-wedding sangeet, which takes place the night before the ceremony and brings both families together.
Filming starts next year.
Davina's off to uni
WHY the long face? Davina McCall in a unicorn pose should cheer anyone up. She wore a frilly, bird-like outfit to help launch ITV’s The Masked Singer, a bonkers contest from South Korea.
Twelve masked celebs sing wearing elaborate costumes, while a star panel guess who they are.
Asked if his kids would be tuning in when the show debuts in January, Davina’s co-panellist Jonathan Ross quipped: “No, my kids are smoking weed . . . one of them legally in LA. No, it would be terrifying on dope.”
Also at the London launch was host Joel Dommett and The Hangover’s Ken Jeong, another of the judges. They met costumed characters including Fox, Monster, Chameleon, Daisy, Octopus, Duck and Queen Bee.
Too mad for me.
Boyega's truce in star war
JOHN Boyega has apologised after he was slammed for implying his Star Wars co-star Kelly Marie Tran was “weak” for coming off social media.
Kelly deleted a series of Instagram posts after abuse she received following The Last Jedi film in 2017.
John later said those who “believe in every single thing” they read are not “mentally strong”.
The comments sparked fury among fans, who accused him of criticising Kelly. He said: “Through social media, we get to engage, we get to have fun. But at the same time, for those who are not mentally strong, you are weak to believe in every single thing that you read.”
John, who plays Finn in the films, tweeted an apology yesterday.
He wrote: “In no way was I referring to Kelly. I was really speaking from my own perspective. Sometimes I’ve felt strong and sometimes I’ve felt weak.”
Matt's a stage hit
MATT Baker shed his family-man image in style when he got a spanking from Julian Clary during their latest pantomime.
The comic bashed the former One Show host with a golf club in London Palladium’s Goldilocks And The Three Bears show, which is set in a circus.
Matt, who plays Joey The Clown, was in a neon mankini as he sang with Julian’s Ringmaster Ringo (I bet he came up with that name).
The all-star cast also features Nigel Havers, Gary Wilmot and even Paul O'Grady, who vowed never to do panto again.
