Some daughters look forward to receiving their mother’s hand-me-downs, but Katherine Ryan prefers to pinch from her children’s wardrobes.
The comedienne, 41, wore a pair of eye-catching, thigh-high silver boots to a summer soiree at Magic Mike Live in the West End.
They belong to her 15-year-old daughter, Violet. ‘I stole these from her,’ she tells me at The Theatre at the Hippodrome Casino.
‘The boots are for my daughter to wear to the Taylor Swift Eras tour.’
The star of Channel 4 hit 8 Out Of 10 Cats adds: ‘I can now share a wardrobe with her, but she’s not so interested in the things I wear.’

Charles sparks a revolution as Palace garage goes green
At Sandringham he’s introduced 3,000 sheep as a source of ‘natural fertiliser’. Now, I can disclose, King Charles is making Buckingham Palace more eco-friendly.
Not by letting sheep roam its 39-acre garden, but by making its fleet of cars greener.
Although the King long ago converted his Aston DB6 to run on ‘surplus’ English white wine and the whey produced in cheese-making, he hasn’t decreed that ‘cheese and wine’ should become the royal fuel.
Instead, he’s planning the installation of 27 electric charging points at the Palace.

Her single Good Looking became a hit on video app TikTok in 2022.

Stanley meets a fan
Hunger Games star Stanley Tucci was excited to spot a tourist reading his book Taste at Kalamata airport in Greece this week.
‘She was so engrossed she failed to look up when he walked past,’ a fellow traveller tells me.
‘Tucci stepped up and tapped her on her shoulder. She was, unsurprisingly, somewhat startled.’

Susie pays tribute to late Dad
Countdown wordsmith Susie Dent’s debut novel, Guilty By Definition, was published this week and it’s dedicated to her father, Colin, who died last year.
‘I’m really sorry that he won’t get to read it,’ says Britain’s best-known lexicographer, 59.
‘I remembered having written a short story that went into the school magazine, and how proud my dad was.
‘Throughout my life, he said, ‘You should try and write stories’. So I just thought, ‘OK – maybe I should go for it’.’
Susie Dent MBE has appeared in Dictionary Corner on Countdown since 1992
