Ex-Miss World Ann Sidney 'snubbed to spare Bruce Forsyth's blushes'Â Ann Sidney, one of only five British girls to have won Miss World since 1951, believes sheâ€™s been dropped from next monthâ€™s show because of a torrid affair she had with Sir Bruce Forsyth. Ann, married to West End producer Duncan Weldon, was looking forward to taking part in the catwalk parade at Londonâ€™s ExCeL centre to mark the 50th anniversary of her coronation. â€˜Everyone thought this was the perfect occasion to celebrate a piece of Miss World heritage,â€™ she tells me. â€˜In the past thereâ€™s been talk of me interviewing some of the girls on stage or perhaps filming a small report.â€™ But Ann, 70, has been told her services are not required. Affair:Â Bruce Forsyth andÂ Ann Sidney pictured at a Press Dance in Bournemouth She believes the snub is down to the affair she had with former Strictly host Forsyth, which ended in acrimony. At the time, Forsyth was the 35-year-old host of Saturday Night At The London Palladium and had two daughters with his first wife Penny Calvert, a leggy blonde dancer. He met hairdresser Ann, then 19, while judging a South Coast pageant, which she won. Brucie bombarded her with flowers and tickets to his shows, and his persistence paid off. She left the Miss World dinner after she had been crowned in order to celebrate with Bruce, downing champagne in his London flat. She appeared at his door in her ballgown, but not her crown, which she had left at her hotel in order not to be noticed. The entertainer subsequently wore disguises when visiting her, but Ann recalls he was once recognised by a member of the public because of his distinctive walk. Bruce later had another equally clandestine romance with Sixties pop star Kathy Kirby. Beauty queen: Ann Sidney, originally from Dorset, wasÂ crowned Miss World in 1964 at the age of 19 â€˜Bruce is very important to Miss World,â€™ says Ann. â€˜He has been a judge on the show and his wife Wilnelia is a former Miss World as well. Iâ€™ve heard rumours that if I appear he may be embarrassed or offended and refuse any future invitations to appear.â€™ Ann revealed details of their relationship to a newspaper in the early Seventies. When she phoned Forsyth to apologise, he replied: â€˜I donâ€™t want to talk to you.â€™ She says: â€˜Bruce bears a grudge. He should let bygones be bygones.â€™ After Ann and Kathy, Brucieâ€™s eye wandered yet again â€" towards Anthea Redfern, his Generation Game co-presenter, who became his second wife in 1973. Their marriage ended in 1979. A year later he met 23-year-old Wilnelia Merced. They wed in 1983 and have been happy together ever since. Ann says the pageant organisers have invited her to sit in the audience, but she says this would be â€˜humiliatingâ€™.Â Suddenly you can't escape Jude Law's son RaffertyÂ He has just turned 18, but Jude Lawâ€™s eldest son, Rafferty, is already a familiar face on the London party circuit after making his catwalk debut for fashion label DKNY in June and appearing alongside model Cara Delevingne in a British Vogue shoot styled by Kate Moss. Actor Jude Law pictured with his son Rafferty, who recently turned 18 Despite inheriting Judeâ€™s good looks, however, the laid-back Bedales-educated Rafferty (right, with Jude) has no plans to follow in his fatherâ€™s acting footsteps. Instead he has formed a band, The Dirty Harrys, and plans to release a record in January. Letâ€™s hope Rafferty, whose mother is actress Sadie Frost, has learned from his fatherâ€™s chequered romantic past. He has been seeing girlfriend Ella Dallaglio, daughter of former England rugby captain Lawrence, for almost two years. Law Sr, who divorced Frost in 2003, confirmed last month he was having a second child out of wedlock, having impregnated aspiring singer Catherine Harding, who at 23 is just five years older than Rafferty. It will be the second time Judeâ€™s eldest has welcomed a surprise sibling into the fold. The actor had a daughter, Sophia, by American model Samantha Burke five years ago. Then thereâ€™s Lawâ€™s infamous affair with his sonâ€™s nanny, Daisy Wright, which scuppered his engagement to actress and model Sienna Miller. Although he was never named, Rafferty was the one who found his father in bed with Daisy. Wright revealed the liaison took place after she flew out â€˜one of his childrenâ€™ to meet Jude in New Orleans, where he was filming, and the trio went to see a Robert Plant concert, after which Jude and the nanny ended up in bed together. The next morning they were discovered by â€˜Judeâ€™s childâ€™, according to Daisy. In his first media interview this summer Rafferty inadvertently outed himself as the witness, recalling: â€˜My dad took me to my first-ever gig in New Orleans when I was seven: Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin.â€™ Perhaps itâ€™s the price of demagoguery, but Alex Salmond has done so much gladhanding of voters, he has developed tendonitis in his right arm.Â Scotlandâ€™s former First Minister, in London this week, greeted acquaintances by holding out his left hand. He explained that he suffered a form of repetitive strain in his other limb after the referendum campaign, which ended in defeat for him in September.Â
