Always pleased to see her ex-husband Imran Khan, heiress Jemima Goldsmith was particularly keen to speak to the celebrated former cricketer this weekend.
Imran flew to London from his native Pakistan on Saturday to tell Jemima, the 40-year-old daughter of late billionaire Sir James Goldsmith, and their two sons about the new love in his life, Reham Khan.
Last week, I reported that Imran, 62, was said to have secretly wed former BBC weather-girl Reham, 20 years his junior, in Lahore.

In response to my story, Imran declared: ‘I want to say that I have publicly expressed my wish to remarry. However, marriage cannot be entered into lightly. Second marriages, especially, need to be considered carefully as children are involved.’
Born in Libya to Pakistani parents, mother-of-three Reham lived in Britain while married to a doctor and worked for the BBC’s South Today programme.
Imran is understood to be spending three days in Britain. His romance is said to have met with opposition from some members of his family and has become a highly contentious topic in Pakistan, where he is a leading politician.
Reham has already been subjected to insults after photos of her in ‘revealing’ clothes and a video of her dancing the tango were posted on the internet in the conservative Islamic country.

Jemima, who has courted foppish actor Hugh Grant and tiresome ‘comedian’ Russell Brand since divorcing Imran ten years ago, has stirred emotions by publicly thanking Pakistanis who contacted her to say she will remain their favourite first lady.
When Sara Khan told her on Twitter: ‘No one can take your place!’ Jemima replied: ‘Ahh. That’s lovely. Thank you x.’

Nick Clegg came a cropper at the weekend, even before the start of the political year today when MPs return to Westminster.
First, the Deputy Prime Minister arranged a press conference at his swanky official residence, Dover House.
But because the briefing was seen as a Lib Dem event rather than a Government one, it was switched to the less glamorous party HQ nearby.
Then the Tories announced a major press conference of their own for the same time. Will anyone now bother with poor old Clegg’s?
Opera diva will leave her baby in the wings
Most women take a nine-month maternity leave, but the show must go on for opera singer Danielle de Niese — she is planning to be back on stage within weeks of having her first child.
‘I am due in late May and have an engagement at Glyndebourne in July,’ the 35-year-old soprano (right) tells me. ‘It’s a project I’ve been looking forward to for three years.’
Danielle’s determination to sing in the Ravel double bill will please her husband Gus Christie, boss of the opera festival in Sussex. Gus, 50, who has four sons from his first marriage to Imogen Lycett Green, fell in love with Danielle when she played Cleopatra at Glyndebourne in 2005.
Sadly, their baby won’t have the chance to meet his (or her) grandpa, Sir George Christie, the former opera boss who died last year aged 79.
