EMILY PRESCOTT: Even Jimmy has to leave his Choos at the door of a £250m palace - as he visits Phones4u billionaire John Caudwell's Mayfair mansion


EMILY PRESCOTT: Guests at John Caudwell's sprawling £250 million Mayfair mansion last week were told they'd have to check in their shoes. That even included footwear king Jimmy Choo.

Decorated with 20,000 sheets of gold leaf, it has its own ballroom, cinema, swimming pool, snow shower and eight-car 'stacker' to get his vintage cars into the underground garage. John joked that some of the guests, who also included designer Karen Millen, singer Peter Andre, and former England rugby captain Chris Robshaw, might leave with better shoes than they arrived in. Caudwell has just added to his coffers by renting his 239ft superyacht Titania to The Crown's producers to recreate Princess Diana's final holiday with Dodi Al Fayed.
