TALK OF THE TOWN: Cara Delevingne and godmother Dame Joan Collins sample Malibu restaurant’s signature black cod dish

If, like me, you can’t wait for restaurants to reopen, here’s a tantalising glimpse of what Alfresco April could look like. 

Supermodel Cara Delevingne and her godmother Dame Joan Collins are among those who have been flocking to the Malibu outpost of Nobu to sample its signature black cod dish. 

Also there were JCB heiress Alice Bamford and partner Ann Eysenring holding their baby. OK for some!

They may fawn over each other on social media but that hasn’t stopped Madonna from losing her friend Diablo Cody as writer of her biopic. 

I’m told Cody, who is best known for scripting the film Juno, has quietly dropped out of the project. 

Madonna’s friend Rosie O’Donnell said last week that the pop superstar is ‘working on getting a different writer’.

The pop diva, who will direct the film, had shared video updates of the duo’s progress last year and was always careful to include the hashtag ‘Diablo’. 

But her latest offerings have dropped all mention of the writer.

The £150 million ‘Candyland’ estate of property developer Christian Candy and socialite Emily Crompton in Surrey is about to get even swankier. 

The couple are installing two huge tunnels – a 240ft link from the main house to a basement containing a pool, gym and steam room, and a 150ft tunnel to an outbuilding containing a cinema, dance studio, another pool and a manicure room. 

Hide and seek will never be the same again for the couple’s eight-year-old twins Isabella Monaco and Cayman Charles.
