Rebel beamed: “I have bought a place here so I’m moving. Yeah, it’s in London. I love it here.”

Seemingly keen not to over indulge during the evening which saw her party hop from the official dinner to the Vogue and Tiffany and Co’s after party at exclusive Mayfair members club Annabel’s, Rebel opted to swerve the free-flowing Taittinger champagne in favour of a humble Diet Coke and switched out the duck main course for a pre-ordered veggie meal.

Admitting she wrote the jokes thinking he would be in the audience, she said: “He is the coolest guy.
“I was told he would come that was why I did some jokes as he would take it on the chin but then with the promotion for his show he couldn’t make it in the end.”
