Barbie star Margot Robbie reveals surprising activity she loves to do when she's in London
BARBIE actress Margot Robbie says she loves traipsing round London looking for ghouls. The Aussie, 34, revealed she gets spooked at The London Dungeon — but is too old for her former nightclub haunts. 1 She told a crowd at Glastonbury: 'Do you know what I do when my family comes down? The London Dungeons Tour. 'Has anyone else done that? Isn't it so good? It's so fun. I just love it — I have probably done it like four times.' Margot added: 'Then there is also a Ghosts, Galleries and Ghouls walking tour, which I highly recommend. 'It is so amazing — you'll be somewhere you walk around all the time and they will be like, 'There are 3,000-year-old skeletons under your feet right now.'' Margot, who was at Glastonbury with husband Tom Ackerley, revealed she no longer goes to her favourite London club Infernos in Clapham, where she used to live. She said at the Pilton Palais cinema: 'I'm 34 and I don't think they'd let me in. "They would be like, 'No go away old lady'. "Our roommate has a 99-year ban.'

Harry Styles parties ‘incognito' in the Glastonbury crowds until 6am – with another One Direction star there too
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HE has never played Glasto but that did not stop Harry Styles turning up as a punter ready to party – dressed down in a blue trackie top. The former One Direction man was hard at it until around 6am yesterday at the Somerset festival's happening party district Block9. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 10 Harry Styles turned up as a punter ready to party at Glastonbury - where he has never performed Credit: Getty 10 Harry mingled in alongside revellers and was trying to keep a low profile at the event Credit: The Sun He was spotted hanging out with close pal Olivia Dean following the singer's secret set on the Strummerville stage — and it seemed he still had plenty of energy after later seeing THE 1975 headline The Pyramid Stage. A source said: 'Harry knows how to party and was loving the vibe at the festival. "He was seen sporting big shades and drinking backstage with pals, and was catching up with Olivia following her set. 'Harry has been spending lots of time in Germany at Berlin nightclub Berghain getting plenty of practice at late nights at Glasto.' 'Low profile' Actor James Norton and new lover Lily Allen were also spotted partying at Block9, alongside actress Anya Taylor-Joy and singer Lorde — who also performed on Friday. Earlier in the day Harry was seen hugging friends in the festival's VIP area. He then headed off to The Other Stage with a group of pals to see Franz Ferdinand play and stayed on to watch Gracie Abrams. An onlooker said: 'Harry was saying how excited he was to be at the festival and was hoping to go as incognito as possible so he could enjoy the music. 'He was politely declining having photos taken with fans, as he wanted to keep a low profile and not draw too much attention.' Meanwhile, Harry's former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson has also been spotted at Worthy Farm — checking out the music with his Love Islander girlfriend Zara McDermott. Sophie Turner confirms she's reunited with aristocrat boyfriend two months after splitting as they cosy up at Glastonbury A source said: 'Glastonbury is huge but Harry and Louis are bound to bump into each other in the VIP area at some point.' So it's a 1D reunion — sort of — at Glasto. 10 Actress Anya Taylor-Joy was among the celebrities spotted at Worthy Farm Credit: BackGrid 10 Singer Lily Allen was spotted wearing boots and shades at the festival Credit: Getty 10 Zara McDermott had a serious reason to attend Glastonbury - in addition to enjoying the music Credit: Sarah Roberts ZARA McDERMOTT did her bit for charity before enjoying the festival. The former Love Island star spoke on The Information stage with domestic abuse organisation Refuge and urged men to call out their friends when sexist jokes go too far. Zara said: 'I have seen boys' group chats, which are so misogynistic and sometimes downright abusive. Boys and men are scared to call each other out. 'They laugh along because it's easier. Just because it's easy doesn't mean it's right.' Boyfriend Louis Tomlinson watched from the crowd. It's brat pack for Denise 10 Denise Welch shared a selfie alongside singer Charli XCX Credit: instagram/denisewelch LOOSE Women's Denise Welch got a taste of brat as she posed with Charli XCX at Worthy Farm. She shared a selfie with the singer before her son Matty Healy headlined the Pyramid Stage with The 1975. It came after the TV star spotted a green flag mimicking Charli's Brat album – with the words 'Denise Welch'. Sharing the selfie next to Charli, who's engaged to 1975 drummer George Daniel, on Insta, Denise wrote: 'Talking about my Brat flag.' Ex-Corrie star Denise also hung out with Matty's fiancee and Charli's BFF Gabbriette backstage. Looks like Denise is part of a new girl gang. Matty's peace of mind 10 Matty Healy said it was a deliberate decision to leave politics out of The 1975's set Credit: Alamy THE 1975 frontman Matty Healy preached love to fans during the band's headline set on the Pyramid Stage. Pausing between songs to address the crowd on Friday night, he said: 'The lack of politics in this show, it is a conscious decision. 'We don't want our legacy to be one of politics – we want it to be that of love and friendship. 'You go out into the world and there is loads of politics. We don't need more, we need more love and friendship. 'If you are a young kid and inspired about this band, aspire for friendship and love in what you do and you will never fail – and I love you.' Jade on fur the first time 10 Jade Thirlwall wore a gigantic fur hat on stage for her first ever Glastonbury performance Credit: Getty 10 Former Little Mix star Jade did not keep the hat on the entire time in the searing heat Credit: Getty THE heat was no sweat for Jade Thirlwall as she donned a gigantic fur hat on stage for her first Glastonbury performance. As well as belting out her own hits, the singer also performed some Little Mix hits, including Shout Out To My Ex and Touch. She was cheered on by her fella Jordan Stephens, who played the day before with his band Rizzle Kicks. Growing emotional when she sang her track Angel Of My Dreams, she thanked the crowd and said: 'I can't believe I'm here.' Veterans Pulp far from patchy 10 Pulp made their return to Glastonbury on Saturday night on the Pyramid Stage Credit: Getty IN one of the worst-kept secrets on Worthy Farm, Pulp finally made their appearance on Glasto's Pyramid Stage on Saturday night. The band had been billed as 'Patchwork' to keep their identity under wraps. Opening with 1995 hit Sorted For E's and Wizz and Disco 2000, frontman Jarvis Cocker said that the set marked a special anniversary. He said: 'My name is Jarvis and this is Pulp – sorry for people who were expecting Patchwork. Did you know we were going to play? How? Psychic? 'Those two songs we just played – Sorted For E's and Wizz and Disco 2000 – were first played on this stage 30 years and four days ago. 'It was the very first time we played them. You could say they were born in Glastonbury.' After Pulp's set, the Red Arrows flew over the Pyramid Stage. Now that's finishing on a high.
