The £800,000 Claridge's hotel stay that helped Noel Gallagher get over his toxic £20mn divorce: Half went on the best part of a year in a luxury Mayfair suite - the rest on room service with £10 bottles of lager and £22 Garibaldi cocktails!
KATIE HIND: What price the cure for a broken heart? If you're Noel Gallagher , it seems that about £800,000 should do the trick.
That extraordinary figure, friends have told me, was their estimation of the bill the former Oasis frontman recently received after checking out of the £2,500 per night Claridge's suite he had decamped to after his marriage to PR executive Sara MacDonald collapsed. Tastefully decorated in the kind of classic cream colour scheme favoured by the uber rich, with extra plush sofas and reclining chairs, each suite in the hotel is uniquely crafted by a renowned interior designer, either Michelle Wu, Pierre Yves Rochon or BOS Studio. His bitter divorce eventually saw him handing over around £20million, a sum which includes cash and the £8 million family mansion in Hampshire where he and Sara had brought up their sons Donovan, 16, and Sonny, 14, as well as continued maintenance payments.
