Provocative: Actor Terence Stamp claims he can't buy mangoes at his favourite East London market because 'no one speaks English'

As the dashing star of films such as Billy Budd and Far From The Madding Crowd, Terence Stamp was the symbol of ‘Swinging London’ in the Sixties, but says he now feels like an alien in his own country.

‘It’s very sad how few English people there are in London now,’ he tells me at a party in Mayfair, where he lamented what he seems to see as a lack of integration among some immigrants.

‘When I grew up in East London everyone seemed to speak English, and now you can barely get by speaking our own language.’

Stamp, who enjoyed romances with his fellow Sixties icons, the actress Julie Christie and model Jean Shrimpton, shared a flat with Sir Michael Caine, but is now based in West London.

‘I don’t live in the East any more, but I absolutely love mangoes and so occasionally I go back there to buy these wonderful Alphonso mangoes from the market on Green Street.

'I’m lucky if I can buy one now at all because no one speaks English.

‘It’s changed so much in such a short space of time, that God knows what London will be like in another decade or so.’

In a provocative outburst, the 76-year-old actor, who went on to star in Hollywood blockbusters including Superman, added: ‘You see these mums wandering around with their prams and four out of five of them have these scarves wrapped around their heads. I feel like it’s not London any more; not the one I used to know anyway.

‘I do think a multicultural society can be a good thing, but when it’s at the cost of your own culture and history, then it’s gone too far and it would be very sad if London stopped being predominantly English.’

Jerry is still a match for Georgia

With her statuesque build and beach blonde hair, it’s not hard to see where Georgia May Jagger gets her looks from.

Sir Mick’s 23-year-old daughter is currently holidaying with her mother, Texan model Jerry Hall, in St Tropez, where the pair enjoyed a day the beach. At 59, Jerry still cuts a fine figure in a bikini, though critics have not always been kind.

After she disrobed on the London stage in The Graduate back in 2000, a brutish colleague described her discreet topless appearance as ‘two fried eggs in the gloaming’.

West End girls mad for Brad

Bradley Cooper is currently on the London stage as the hideously deformed Joseph Merrick in The Elephant Man, but he treats his own body like a temple.

‘He’s a health freak,’ says his stage door manager, Tony Fisher. ‘Every night he has two trays of salad and a green smoothie. He doesn’t smoke or drink. They all went to Glastonbury the other day and when they came back all the cast were wasted except him.’

Meanwhile, Fisher says the Theatre Royal Haymarket is besieged every night by excitable young ladies. ‘We’ve never had anything like this. Every night it’s Beatlemania.’

George Clooney and his human rights lawyer wife Amal are the world’s most feted power couple. Preening sycophants — and they are many — swoon at the mere prospect of obtaining the glamorous pair’s personal imprimatur.

But their glitter hasn’t entranced the penpushers at their local council, who are objecting to the couple’s plans to install a range of CCTV cameras at their sprawling £10 million home in Oxfordshire. Eye and Dunsden Parish Council says the CCTV ‘represents a potential infringement of the privacy of neighbouring properties’. It also claims the poles on which they plan to erect the cameras would be a ‘visual intrusion’ into the village’s conservation area.
