Tomkinson to launch own show

It girl Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, whose shambolic appearance in a TV interview led to her facing up to her drug problems, is aiming to launch her own chat show.

The posh former party girl, 30, has told the latest edition of Eve magazine, published tomorrow, that she is lining up a Sunday night prime time show. Details are secret but she names David Frost, Michael Parkinson, William Hague, Jane Asher and tennis star Goran Ivanisevic as potential guests.

It was after erratic behaviour on Frank Skinner’s chat show that Palmer Tomkinson headed to a rehabilitation clinic in Arizona and later admitted it was to treat a cocaine problem that she has now beaten.
