EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: I can reveal that, 16 months after she died in Morocco at the age of 65, Hilary Devey left not a single penny in her will.
Dragons' Den star Hilary Devey was haunted all her life by witnessing, as a seven-year-old girl, bailiffs removing furniture and household goods from her family home after her father, who had owned a central heating company, went bankrupt.
Born in Bolton, Greater Manchester, Devey, a one-time chain smoker, had a stroke in 2009 that left her with a paralysed arm. She gave generously to charity, especially to the Stroke Association, of which she became patron, and she was vice president of Carers' Trust. Devey was married three times, firstly to Malcolm Sharples, then Ed Devey, and finally Phillip Childs. Her son, Mevlit, was from her relationship with Hussain Ahmett before she discovered that he was already married and had five children.
'She taught Prince William well — that if he is going to be King he needs to feel the pain of the people,' Sir Magdi tells me at the launch party for his biography A Surgeon And A Maverick, by Simon Pearson and Fiona Gorman, at the Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea, London. Nigel Farage is angry that the Welsh Parliament, which is dominated by Labour, has just banned GB News, on which he's a presenterHow times have changed for Lily Allen, who was kicked out of the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in 2008 for allegedly being high on drugs.
