Bernie, things are looking up

FORMULA One boss Bernie Ecclestone has entered the list of most eligible singletons, alongside Prince Harry, Emma Watson and model Lily Cole.

The 79-year-old, who separated from his wife, Slavica, is the oldest person on the Little Black Book list by several decades.

The Tatler magazine put it: “A 79-year-old billionaire — what’s not to like?” Ecclestone owns property worth $2.4 billion.

At the top of the list was Sheherazade Goldsmith, an English environmentalist who recently separated from Jemima Khan’s brother Zac, reports the Telegraph.

Tatler’s annual list of ‘perkiest singletons’ also includes James Purnell, the former British work and pensions secretary.

The oldest woman to make it to the list was the 50-year-old Duchess of York, who is included alongside her daughters, Princess Eugenie, 19, and Princess Beatrice, 21.

The list also includes Peaches and Pixie Geldof, daughters of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates; Georgia May Jagger, daughter of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, and Chloe Green, the teenage daughter of Top Shop owner Philip Green.
