EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Why James Hunt’s Lothario son Freddy remains ‘on a leash’

Being the son of Formula 1 legend James Hunt may have its perks, but fellow racing driver Freddie Hunt admits living in his famous father’s shadow hasn’t always been easy.

“Early in my career, it was difficult to be compared to my father, and it caused serious problems with my mental state,” Freddie, 35, tells me at the hotel premiere of his film, The Hunt for Lauda: The Next Generation Ham Yard in Soho. .

Hunt Sr is rumored to have slept with 5,000 women, but Freddie is still committed to his entrepreneur girlfriend Aimee Watts.

And the man who just joined Amazon’s Car And Country: Rush as a host does advise sportsmen with multiple female fans to be careful, “because it’s hard to keep yourself on a leash.”

The stalker’s fear makes Lady Sitwell run home

Former ‘face of Royal Ascot’ Martha Sitwell claims she has been stalked for the past few months by a mentally ill man who has a history of strangling women.

The ex-wife of Baronet Sir George Sitwell says she was left so traumatized after a man approached her in the street and tried to break into her home that she now feels she has no choice but to leave.

“I’ve had a stalker since April and he’s out on police bail. Last weekend he tried to break into my apartment, but the police did nothing. They didn’t even come and conduct an examination,” the 42-year-old guy tells me.

“This is a very mentally ill person who should be hospitalized. I don’t know him, but he approached me on the street. It was very scary, especially since I heard that he had strangled women in the past.”

Martha is looking to raise enough money to move by selling some of her possessions through her Instagram account, including a pair of Christian Louboutin Crocodile pumps, most of the contents of her designer wardrobe and even her wedding dress.

But in light of recent events, she has become wary of meeting potential buyers and letting them know where she is.

“I will not give out my address to anyone. People can message me and if I trust them, I will send them my location,” she adds. “Hence this move, and thus the mass clearing. I will pay off my debts and move.”

Martha, the daughter of the late deli Justin de Blanc, married former film producer Sir George in 2007 and lived with him in Weston Hall, worth £3.25m, in Northamptonshire.

But her relationship with poet Edith Sitwell’s great-nephew turned frosty, and in 2017 she threw a “divorce party” to mark the end of their decade-long union.

He may have been sidelined by the Labor Party, which stripped him of the parliamentary whip two years ago, but the devotion former Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn commands from his supporters should never be underestimated.

I can report that their donations paid off the staggering legal fees of around £100,000 that Corbyn racked up as he prepared to fight the defamation suit – even though the case was eventually settled out of court.

Corbyn’s associates sent the money to JBC Defense Ltd, a company set up “to pay Jeremy’s legal costs if and when he is sued for defamation as a result of defending the values ​​and beliefs to which he has devoted his life”, explains one of its directors.

For some, everything is fine.

If anyone in leafy Surrey spots a strange man jogging at the witching hour, fear not – it’s just TV executive Noel Fitzpatrick out for an early run.

“I run from 12 to 2 in the morning. I don’t have a torch, I just feel the ground with my feet. It’s quiet here, and it’s just you and the universe,” says the 54-year-old.

Sophie ditches the heels (they were killer on the dance floor)

Pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor has decided that high heel fashion is no longer for her.

“After the lockout, I looked at all the heels and thought, ‘Why did I do this to my feet?’ Stiletto, what was I thinking?’ says the 43-year-old mother of five children.

However, she insists that she will not part with any of them. “I would say I have over 200 pairs. But then I don’t really get rid of anything, even if I don’t wear it anymore.”

Dom Jolie has conned countless people with his Trigger Happy series, but has he himself been caught recently?

The man, known only as “Jim,” told Jolie he wanted to make a “big movie version” of his show.

“He told me he made a lot of money in cryptography,” Joly says. “I arranged to meet for lunch. We got along very well. He was smart, charming and believable.”

The agreement was signed, and Jolie waited for the money to arrive from the US, but soon realized that he had been ripped off.

What he can’t figure out is “Jim’s” motive for the stunt, since he paid for the dinner.

Jess Mills, daughter of the late MP and former Labor Secretary Tessa Jowell and David Mills, has released her first song with her new band Do No Harm.

Mills, 41, has previously performed as a solo artist, but this is the first music she has released with a band.

Titled Damascene, the song was released last week and is the first in a trilogy of mini-albums to be released over the next few months.

Chelsea shows off little Leo

When I broke the news that Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy gave birth to a baby boy earlier this year with her husband, English hotelier Sam Cutmore-Scott, it came as a surprise to many.

Now the former lover of the Duke of Sussex, Zimbabwean-born Chelsea, 37, has shared the first photo of her son Leo, who shares blonde locks with his mum.

Chelsea, who runs a jewelery and travel business, gave birth to Leo at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. She and Cutmore-Scott, also 37, who was a year above Harry at Eton, live in Chisick, West London.

Craig’s Strictly 999 over the groom’s TV habits

Lead star Craig Revel Horwood is best known for his scathing remarks on the show, and it seems he’s no less judgmental when it comes to the viewing habits of his fiance, gardener Jonathan Meiring.

“He makes me watch these horrible shows like 24 Hours in ED and ER,” moans the 57-year-old choreographer. Myring, 43, is studying to become a paramedic.

“I end up watching open brain surgery when I just want to relax after a day of filming, honey.”

Could this be the reason why the couple, who have been engaged since 2020, have yet to come out of the closet?
