I partied with celebs at Glasto & caught Harry Styles snogging mystery girl – this is what VIP area is REALLY like
THE clock is ticking towards 2.30am on Sunday, and I'm standing in a VIP boozer at Glastonbury watching Davina McCall throwing shapes on the dancefloor.
She was having the time of her life with her pals and partner Michael Douglas - who all had far more energy than I did at that time of night.

TV presenter Davina went unnoticed by other revellers, as did the even more famous man who was dancing just a few feet away from them - pop superstar Harry Styles.
Although that may be because he was tucked away wearing a grey jumper with his shades on, locking lips for 12 seconds with a frizzy-haired young woman.
I captured the passionate moment on camera after my colleague and I spotted former One Direction singer Harry, 31, shuffling into the bar moments earlier.
They had arrived separately but seemed to already be well-acquainted.
Might this have been going on for longer, or was it just a Glastonbury romance? Time will tell.
I saw them holding hands as they made their way to the dancefloor, where they partied discreetly with the music pumping, before kissing and then going their separate ways for the evening.
The bar itself - the name of which I'll keep a secret - is full of bright lights while the dance area is just a tiny, dark room.
It has a cool vibe and is one of the most popular haunts among celebs. Most importantly, it has plenty of booze and good tunes to keep them going.
There are certainly more luxurious VIP areas on Worthy Farm, though, and all of them are swarming with A-listers.
I'm fortunate enough to get access to these places through my job.
And one of the things that strikes me most about this weird and wonderful festival is that so many of those stars can party all day and night without even being spotted.
Even when it is supermodel Cara Delevingne, who was walking around Silvers Bar in the hospitality area in a Robbie Williams-inspired bright red Adidas tracksuit on Sunday night.
Or Hollywood star Paul Mescal and his American singer girlfriend Gracie Abrams - who performed on the Other Stage on Friday - out raving in one tent in the early hours.
There was one moment when I was sitting on a bench outside Silvers Bar, sipping a cider and people watching, when I turned around to see Davina and her pals had perched themselves alongside me.
Many celebs will stop for selfies with fans, some won't.
I had actually bumped into Harry on Friday evening, chatting away to lots of people and shaking their hands.
I thought I would ask him for a quick selfie to add to the Glastonbury scrapbook.
He replied, in the most polite tone: "Do you mind if we don't?"
Harry then asked for my name and shook my hand before continuing with his evening.
It was only a very brief encounter, but he was one of the most well-mannered and charming celebs I have met.
You can see why fans - and no doubt the woman he was kissing - adore him. He has got it all: the looks, the style, the talent and personality.
This was Harry's first time at Glastonbury, but hopefully it will not be his last.
Next year is a fallow year, so roll on 2027. Hopefully I'll have recovered by then.

Chief Rabbi: Glastonbury controversy is "time of national shame"
The UK's Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis has described the BBC's handling of Bob Vylan's Glastonbury performance as a "time of national shame." Writing on X, Mirvis said: "The scenes of hateful rhetoric and glorification of violence seen at Glastonbury yesterday should be deeply disturbing for our entire society." He added: "The BBC's belated and mishandled response, brings confidence in our national broadcaster's ability to treat antisemitism seriously to a new low. "It should trouble all decent people that now, one need only couch their outright incitement to violence and hatred as edgy political commentary, for ordinary people to not only fail to see it for what it is, but also to cheer it, chant it and celebrate it." During Bob Vylan's performance, rapper Bobby Vylan chanted 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)'. It was announced on Monday, a police investigation into the incident is now underway. A police spokesman said: 'This has been recorded as a public order incident at this time while our inquiries are at an early stage. 'The investigation will be evidence-led and will closely consider all appropriate legislation, including relating to hate crimes. 'We have received a large amount of contact in relation to these events from people across the world and recognise the strength of public feeling. 'There is absolutely no place in society for hate.' The force said neighbourhood policing teams were speaking with people in their local communities and key stakeholders, which it hoped would reassure the public 'how seriously we are treating Saturday's events'. In a statement posted to Instagram after the Glastonbury set, Vylan said: 'Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place. 'As we grow older and our fire starts to possibly dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us.' They are due to perform at Radar Festival in Manchester on Saturday and Boardmasters, a surfing and music festival in Newquay, Cornwall, in August. Acknowledging they had received around 150 complaints about the broadcast of Bob Vylan's performance, broadcasting regulator Ofcom said the BBC "clearly has questions to answer." The BBC have acknowledged they "should have pulled" the livestream of Vylan's set which remained online for five hours.

Heartbreak for Tulisa as her famous dad dies – leaving cousin Dappy devastated
Renowned musician Steve Contostavlos has passed away. The keyboard player, who went by the name of Pluto, was the father of N-Dubz singer Tulisa. 7 7 7 7 The Young hitmaker has now taken to her Instagram page to post an emotional tribute. She shared a childhood image showing her snuggling with her dad and the words: "Love you pops, rest in peace. "Forever my father's daughter." Heartbroken rapper Dappy, who was in the band with his cousin Tulisa, also previously shared the sad news as he posted a video of himself with his uncle, alongside a white dove. I'm A Celeb star Tulisa commented on the post with a broken heart emoji and Dappy replied: 'I'm so sorry T.' Speaking last year about her father, she said on Paul Brunson's podcast We Need To Talk: 'Me and my dad's relationship has not been a conventional one. "I would say me and my dad now we're just more friends that kind of have an understanding of one another." Plato was well loved within the music scene during the 1970s, as part of the blues band Mungo Jerry. The band gained massive success after landing the Number 1 hit In The Summertime in 1970, with Pluto on the keyboard. Other hits from the band include Lady Rose and Alright, Alright, Alright. Plato contributed his incredible skills to the group while his brother Byron - who is Tulisa's uncle and Dappy's father - played the bass guitar. Tulisa's dad reportedly was in the band in its early days with Byron - who tragically passed in the early days of N-Dubz. Speaking about her dad's influence on her career, she said in the past: "My dad had a little studio in Dollis Hill and he used to bring me there sometimes when he was working. Tulisa reveals why she split from NDubz bandmate Fazer saying he's 'the only one who meant something' "He put me on the mic at the age of five. I was singing Little Mermaid. "I just knew there was nothing else I felt passionate about." The star has told in the past how her dad left her mum, Anne Byrne, and her when she was nine years old. Tulisa became her mum's primary carer at the tender age of 11. 7 7 Anne was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in 2007, a combination of bipolar and schizophrenia. When Plato left home Tulisa started staying at her aunt's house more often. She said in the past: "My dad left home and it triggered one of her episodes. "One minute she'd look all mournful as if someone had died, the next she'd be angry and aggressive, smashing cupboards and shouting. "Inevitably, she went into hospital again and I stayed with my mum's older sister, Louise."
